| Quilter in the Closet: Modern Mini's inspired by artists, this one was inspired by Mondrian |
I finished another Modern Mini. This one was inspired by Piet Mondrian, who you can learn more about here at the Moma site.. I've seen all kinds of Mondrian inspired things, including a mini petit four with a Mondrian-like interior!
When it came to quilting this mini, I stared at it a long time. I didn't want to interfere too much with the pieced design, but I didn't want to just SID either. In the end, I decided to try something new - thanks again to the Craftsy class by Jacquie Gering called Creative Quilting With Your Walking Foot (affiliate link). In the class, she discusses trying out some of your decorative stitches for quilting. Add that influence and a piece I saw in a recent Stitch Magazine on how to create your own plaid fabrics and well, this quilt was quilted.
I rather like the effect! And I might have to try out that technique again soon.
Thanks for reading today,
Jen

Your quilting is really something different. I like it.
ReplyDeleteI love Mondrian and think he's such a great inspiration for quilters!
ReplyDeleteI do love me some Mondrian! Yours looks great, Jen. I especially like the stitch accents you did. Great job!
ReplyDeleteLove the quilting, Jen! And the different colours of threads you used together. Really adds a bold statement. Such a great piece!
ReplyDeleteI love the quilting!! What a neat concept, and it works so well with the Mondrian-inspired quilt. :)
ReplyDeleteThat quilting works really well! And what a lovely patchwork! ( PS, visitor to the house was stopped in her tracks when she saw the wallhanging ( it's never going to have a sewing machine put on it!). I've had to wipe the drool from the floor in front of it, and I'll need to check her luggage when she leaves!!!!!!!)
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful. And I love the effect the decorative stitches give the quilt.
ReplyDeleteLove Love Love (if i knew how to make those little hearts i would !~!)
