Thinking I'd use up some big pieces of fabric stash, I put this BQ top together when we still lived in Iowa. The BQ pattern is from Maple Island Quilts.
Blocks are 18" X 18" and made into a 53" X 72" quilt.

The back.
Dare I say... "It was fun to quilt!"
Most of the quilting is free-hand. Unmarked. Only this blue block was quilted following a design drawn on Golden Threads paper. I buy my paper through J. Hittle Sewing.
Quilting took more time than piecing!

Oh, this is fabulous! I bet you had fun working on all those quilting designs! (I didn't realise you lived in Iowa previously- the only thing I know about Iowa was from "The Field of Dreams" movie...!)
Congrats, Linda! You are really chugging along. I like that you were so daring with your photography on the fence too!! As usual, your machine quilting is enviable!! Great job!
Hi Linda what a beautiful modern quilt I love the colors and the quilting is really awesome Looks like you had a lot of fun quilting this. Blessings Sandra
Well done! I love the idea of a list of UFOs on the blog. I have a scribbled one in a little note book, but I think it's not the same and I might take up your idea (if you don't mind).
I LOVE your finished quilt. And your quilting!!! What can I say! You really have masted the art of FMQ. I have never tried the Golden Threads paper, but always wanted. I will get some and get practicing. You've inspired me (as always). xx
What a gorgeous backdrop! The quilt is beautiful too!
Beautiful!! Of course, you're not scared of all that space to quilt!
Great quilting Linda! Something for me to aspire to both in free motion and getting UFO's done.
Well done Linda, must be satisfying to stand back and enjoy the results.
Very striking quilt Linda - the colors are bold and strong and I really like it! blessings, marlene
