Playing favorites


Today, this is my favorite quilt of all time. I just got it done and am calling it Bricks and Waves.

This is the first time I have used the wavy stitch for quilting, and I think I am in love. It was perfect to off set the squares and rectangles and mimics the lines of the rick rack which is also am item that I adore.

The fabric is Moda Authentic by Sweetwater with a Classic Neutral from Paint Brush studios thrown in which is also used for the backing. The solid squares are Kona Cotton in Bone and the binding is Kona Cotton Black. The finished size is 40 x44.


One last shot... because I am lov'n the green and blue of the tree and sky with the brown fence.

  1. Yes totally agree those wavey lines are just perfect! Might have to try those next time. Love that last shot. The background perfectly mimicks the quilt colours.
