Quadrangle Finish

The last of the 3 teal quilts for Joanna is back from the quilter. This quilt is called Quadrangle and I posted about the flimsy here.


The grass was too damp to display the quilt so the rest of the pictures were taken on our bed.


I had purchased a jelly roll to use in making the stars for Teal Stars but I didn't think they blended very well. I used strips from that roll for  binding this quilt, a lot of those fabrics also make an appearance in here.

I had purchased this border fabric several years ago, I knew someday I would be making quilts for Joanna and I didn't have many teal fabrics to work with.

All of Joana's quilts are square quilts, this one finished at 91". I didn't start out intending to make them all square but that's how they turned out.

Calico Point did the long arm quilting, this is the design I selected.

I never remember what the names of the quilting designs are. They keep a record on their computer so I can refer back if I want to use a design again.

Quadrangle is a free pattern by Moda. This is a very versatile pattern, I can see making this quilt again but making the squares larger. I used a variety of different teals in this quilt, both blue teals and green teals. They all seem to blend together just fine. The touches of purple add a nice contrast of color.

I love the purple and blue pops in with the teals! What a gorgeous quilt.

Oh, what a blissfully cool, tranquil (I typed "tranquilt"!) combination.

It's gorgeous! I always run out of teals (and oranges). It's always nice to enhance the stash with some fun jelly rolls. The quilting is beautiful. Beautiful finish.
