I have another finish! Actually, the top was completed a while ago but I couldn’t decide how I wanted to quilt it. My Pfaff on a frame doesn’t do straight lines well and I thought it too big for my domestic machine. The quilt is called Everything’s Coming Up Rainbows by Krista Fleckenstein of Spotted Stone. I found the pattern in the book Modern Quilts from the Blogging Universe.
Using bright colors against a light gray background make these blocks pop. It can be made into a table runner, lap quilt, wall hanging, or large bed quilt. I made it half as large as the pattern called for. This is a sample for the upcoming class at the Attic Window Quilt Shop. The class will be Wednesday, June 19th, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Call the shop to register for the class.
This is a closer look so you can see the quilting. In the end I decided on a bunch on shorter straight lines boxed and overlapping one another. I’m not sure how much I like the pattern, but the quilt really came out nice and flat.
ON ANOTHER NOTE: Moda Bake Shop has instructions for a simply Style Stacked Squares Quilt.
Until next time,

Stay Calm! Stay Kind! Stay Positive!

Great job! I like the quilting. I've been wanting to try that quilting design. Maybe I will on one of the many tops I have waiting to be quilted.
You are on a roll - Caroll! Congrats on another lovely finish.
I like it very much. That's a quilt design I like doing, too.
Love this quilt! Wish you had the class on a Saturday or evening.
