Normally, it takes years for me to take a project from picking out fabric to taking photos of a piece of finished work. This is my exception to that rule. From start to finish, this project took less than a year after I won the fabric at the heart of the quilt (Joel Dewberry's Aviary II Collection in Granite) in an online giveaway.
This quilt is hand-quilted using no. 12 Perle Cotton in Ecru and Black in an echo pattern using a utility stitch. The number of lines within each shape vary since I didn't mark the quilt and went straight to quilting once I had basted it.
What I love about this quilt is that showcases my aesthetic as a quilter the best: the quilting coordinates with the 'top' and shines with the 'back'.

you're right, the way the hand quilting 'pops' on the back is incredible!
