Fire & Ice

 It has been some time since I have posted, wow time flies. 

I want to show some of the work I have finished during this pandemic.

One piece in particular I am very happy with, it is Fire and Ice a pattern by Kimberly Einmo. This is the first quilt I quilted with the back in mind. I chose a hot pink solid, then chose thread colors to match the top. I used 17 bobbin colors. Yes a lot of winding bobbins and a lot of thread changes- top and bottom, I think over 45! I still need to work on my starting and stopping to get a more continuous look. 

Eight "Skewed Spirals" make up the center block.

My friend Ann recently gave me as an early birthday present some wonderful free motion quilting books: Rulerwork Quilting Idea Book by Amanda Murphy and Grafitti Quilting by Natalie Barns. Needless to say those book were heavy inspiration for this quilt.
