    Default Black, White, Gray and Gold - finally finished

    This has been a really long project. I usually make much smaller quilts. I started cutting in early summer after collecting fabric for a really long time. Having made my share of cutting errors, I decided to incorporate all the 1/2" too short pieces into the back. Which meant I had to cut more pieces. And then a few more pieces. I had a large palette to work with - which came in very handy for this monster.
    It measures 104 x 105. I decided not long into it that I would send it out to be quilted - and then couldn't do it. It is for my daughter and I had to put in the time hand quilting- as I do most all of my projects. I was inspired by a link on the board: http://www.quiltingboard.com/picture...e-t210021.html Had to include my signature block of flying geese so they are sprinkled throughout. I can't begin to describe how happy I feel to have completed it!

    This is fabulous! I love the flying geese you incorporated. And those cutting errors were a blessing in disguise! Love it!

    Is the gold ever great with the black. Your backing is so sharp too.

    Love the modern look of your quilt. It's really bright and beautiful.
    The extra detailing on the back really ties it all together!
