Last year I asked my brother what colours he would like if I made him a new quilt (he has several of course). He said red, white, and black. And then he also asked for white quilting on the black fabric which was a rather specific request.
This was the result.
As you can see I did do white quilting on the black fabric with a big freehand bubble like design. I did the same design on the patterned fabrics in a red thread which is more subtle. I also pebbled the background of the little stars.
This is the top before quilting. The black areas looks boring without the white quilting.
I am not sure who the designer is. I was in Brisbane in 2019 with a friend and went to a small local quilt show. This quilt was hanging and I took a photo. I thought I would recreate it, and just assumed they were four inch blocks. After making around 250 of the mini stars and starting to piece the blocks into rows I realised it was going to be ridiculously large. So I chopped off four rows on each side. This simplified the design, but I still think it looks good.
My brother loved his new quilt and I think his foster cat does too.
