I like Hillary's work and I was happy to be asked to quilt something of hers. I was also happy she wasn't in a hurry because I generally have about 6 hours a week to quilt and I had things already lined up for a few months.
But now I'm getting to her top and it's a lot of fun.
Hillary gave me a lot of latitude to do what I wanted on the quilt top. Mostly that kind of thing gives me a stomach ache. I'm sure professional quilters get used to it, but I am always second guessing myself with quilting someone else's work. Still, I'm glad for the experiment because it's letting me try my hand at some ideas, especially in all the negative space.
That last one is a shot from the back. I'll show more when it's finished!

Looks fantastic so far.
Very cool! I love what I can see.
It's really lovely ~ and so intricate ~ love it!
Wow, you are really filling up that negative space. I purposely am using alternate solid blocks in the quilt I am making now. On the solid blocks I can have fun with free motion patterns. Thanks for the inspiration you have given to us all.
That looks awesome!! Did you use your free motion foot to to the straight lines or your walking foot? I'm still trying to branch out using my Juki since I don't have a longarm.
I love filling in the negative space with lots of different patterns/designs. What you are doing looks amazing!
Goodness that is so detailed-what an exquisite design!
Best wishes

That is amazing! The back is a work of art in itself.
It's gorgeous, Christina! I'm getting ready to try some FMQ graffiti on a quilt and your work gives me confidence I can do it!! Thanks for the inspiration!
