Modern Stripes

I was the lucky winner of this gorgeous bundle of Cloud 9 Organice Solids at a VMQG meeting last year:

I had this FQ bundle for a long time before the right design came to mind. As much as possible, I kept the different values of the various colours together and pieced them into strip sets of varying sizes:

Friends, I love this quilt. LOVE. IT. The fabrics are so lovely. So soft with a really nice hand. Highly recommended.

It's about 60x72 so I quilted it on the longarm with a clamshell design that goes side to side. I switched it up with a slightly different clamshell when I remembered.

The back is two different Kona Greys (Charcoal and Medium Grey) plus a bit of a leftover strip set that I cross-cut and pieced in a little checkerboard just because. This shows the nice magenta binding to its best advantage.

It's a Finish Along finish too. This one's staying with me!

    This quilt just speaks to me. It is minimalist yet with no negative space, and it is interesting with such a simple design. I love the quilting too, a great addition. I am in love!
