ALYOF-March goal met

  It is time to post my finished quilt for ALYOF, I met my March goal. My quilt is from a pattern by http://sewkindofwonderful.com/ called Urban Abacus. I had pieced the quilt sometime last year and it has been in the 'to be quilted' closet since just waiting for some attention.  It is now residing in our master bedroom on this quilt hanger that my dad made for me many many years ago. The quilt turned out just how I imagined it, I am so very pleased with it :-)
  My Nolting FunQuilter helped me do all the quilting. The batting is a layer of Hobbs 80/20 with a layer of their 4 oz poly batting on top of that. Why did I do 2 layers of batting you may ask. Do you see the definition of the quilting-that is what happens when you do the 2 layers of batting, I love that for this quilt.  I personally would not do this for a bed quilt or snuggly quilt as it does give it body(stiffer) which does not give a snuggle feel, but for a quilt that will hang-oooh lala!!  Glide thread in Prickly Pear was used throughout the top, with an unknown for the bobbin. Which brings me to the back of the quilt-wow do I love it as much as the front-oh yes!

Some ruler work with stitch regulator on for the echo of the ( ) and the straight line in the mint strips. Freehand wishbones in the ( ) and the small stipple in the yellow without the stitch regulator. It was so much fun to quilt!

I think I will call it my parenthesis quilt~

It goes perfectly with our bedroom walls, which are a pretty mint green although you can't tell it by the picture. I just couldn't get it to show up naturally.
