December has been another busy month in my studio. I absolutely love being able to help other quilters finish their projects!
Seeing the pantograph Nebula on another recent quilt that I quilted, the same design was chosen for this quilt by its maker and it was also a perfect fit.

Choosing the thread colour for this quilt created a question of contrast. Had I chosen the cream colour matching the lightest fabric the contrast would have been too strong over the darker colours.
When that happens, in some areas of a quilt your eye will be drawn to the contrast that shows a small awkward looking amount of the design instead of a lovely flow over the entire quilt. I chose a softer tan that played beautifully over all of the fabrics.


The backing fabric is such a beautiful butterfly print, adding a fun surprise on the back and in perfect tones to blend with the quilt top.

This quilt was trimmed and ready for binding at pick up!
