This is "Five by Five". The amazing @carole_lylesshaw provided a lecture and workshop for the London Modern Quilt Guild. People, if you have a chance to take in her lectures or workshops, do it!
This is a design process, not a pattern, so there is lots of flexibility.
The premise of the design is to use one bold print - mine is the southwest print, and select coordinating solids. There are a few different blocks, and you can use the print plus two or a few of the solids in each block.
A design wall is really helpful for this kind of design, to audition the orientation of the blocks and how they are interacting Interesting designs flow where the same fabrics meet up in different blocks.
For the quilting designs, I used digital designs from Wasatch Quilting from their Southwestern collection. The designs include the sun, cacti, feathers, pots, arrows, kokopelli.
Each row of quilting is a different design.
And I worked in the stitch out of my logo!
The backing of Fabriquilt's "Leather Look" in Gold shows the quilting nicely and I like all the shades of gold across the fabric.
Hab 'n Dash Glide "Dijon" stitched out the digital designs.
These are the designs in Wasatch's Southwestern collection.
My Bernina Q24 with QMatic recorded 82,708 stitches. I used Arctic's Cotton/Bamboo blend batting for this quilt.
