The pattern was easy to follow. Using a variety of more masculine colors was off the usual beaten path of my quilt colors. Nice to venture in new directions :)
The fabric from a variety of designers was purchased at Mad about Patchwork with Katy providing lots of helpful color advice.
I took the plunge and quilted some diagonal lines (simplistic as it was) with my new Bernina. Such a difference from when I tried this many years ago without the aid of a walking foot. No puckers and it went like a charm. Thanks to Tallgrass Prairie Studio for the tips on straight line quilting. As she recommends, avoid sewing on the tape as it's a pain to remove if the needle hits it. (Learned from experience :) )
The guides attached to the foot, helped to keep lines a consistent distance apart and straight, once I had the first straight line stitched.
I made this quilt for my brother-in-law, hope he enjoys it.
I had no idea how striking this quilt would be, I just love it!
