[Photo provided by Love Patchwork & Quilting]
I feel so appreciative for the chances I have had this past year. The last of the year, my “Negative Crosswalk” quilt and pillow were published in Love Patchwork & Quilting, Issue 29 (arriving in stores this week in the US). I love this photo, they did an amazing job with staging my quilt.
The quilt came from one of my quilt design a day’s design.
The quilt has come home now. It’s one of my favorites. I love the graduation of the back to light greys. I continued the lines through the edge, in the binding.
The quilting was all straight line quilting with my walking foot. I used 1/2″ lines for negative space and then matchstick quilting for the crosswalk pieces. I used matching Aurifil thread which worked out great.
I wanted to continue the striped theme on the back. I used a variety of striped fabric (black, grey and white stripes) to comprise the back with a couple of pops of color (from Tula Pink Elizabeth prints).

The photo is a wonderful unique way to show off your quilt
I love this and I think the back is super clever too!
Great quilt! They did a wonderful job of photographing it and your backing IS perfect!
Congratulations on being featured in the magazine and being such an early bird for Quiltcon, Michelle. It’s a beautiful quilt! So, I’m guessing you bound it by piecing the black and greys into your binding, somehow getting everything to line up perfectly–amazing!
How awesome to already have a quilt prepared to submit for 2017! š It was styled beautifully, congratulations on the publication.
oh I like this ALOT!!
p.s. super clever quilt back too!
Both the front and back of this quilt are very beautiful.
Beautiful design!!
love this design and color gradation is wonderful!
The quilt is lovely. Just wondering though how anonymous quilt judging works when many bloggers announce/show their quilts in advance and clearly identify the maker. Also, aren’t you going be put at a disadvantage when other competitors see your entry in advance?
Wonderful quilt. I love seeing your creativity both on paper and in the quilts.
Love the simplistic design! I think it also looks great on your pic where your watermark is, imagining there’s another vertical grey bar on the opposite side too š
The back looks pretty awesome! I’m in awe that it looks like all the straight lines are matched up so straight and that your quilting didn’t make the lines in the print wobble!
I really like this design. I feel like I need to explore the line theme in a future quilt. So inspired.
Beautiful, love the matchstick quilting.
