Blogger's Quilt Festival ~ Positively Transparent ~ Fall 2017

It's time for the Fall 2017 Edition of the Blogger's Quilt Festival hosted by Amy at Amy's Creative Side.  Bloggers can share two quilts of their choosing by writing a separate blog post for each quilt and linking to the festival link party.



I recently posted about Positively Transparent HERE which was the Modern Quilt Guild's August 2017 Quilt of the Month, but I thought it was share worthy again.



Positively Transparent explores transparency within a modern plus sign design achieving a layered effect to the plus signs which were created using Kona Cotton solids.



I quilted Positively Transparent with various weights of Aurifil on my Bernina 153 using a walking foot.



And if you like plus sign quilts, please check out my book, Modern Plus Sign Quilts, due out in February 2018 by Stash Books.  It's available now for pre-order on Amazon. (affiliate link)

    What a neat take on the plus quilt. How did you find working with the Essex linen as a background fabric? I'm considering it for a few projects--it feels so nice!

    I think of myself as a hobby quilter (newbie, learning, stumbling, making mistakes, and saying whatever). But when I look at this quilt, it becomes clear that you are a pro. Every stitch, every point is perfect. It rightfully belongs on the cover of a magazine. This is what we hobby/newbie quilters shall aspire to create. Perfection. Thank you for sharing it with the Bloggers Quilt Festival.
