Modern Plus Sign Quilts Blog Hop + Day 3

Welcome to Day 3 of the Modern Plus Sign Quilts Blog Hop.  The kick off post is here.  If you are just joining us,  we will be sharing 2 quilts from the book each weekday until all 16 quilts are featured and 40+ bloggers will share their version they have made on their respective blogs.  You are in store for a treat!  And, there will be giveaways each day!

First up on Day 3 is:

Plus Surround

I was excited to find out Plus Surround was juried into the Modern Traditional category at QuiltCon 2018.  Plus Surround is made from two Carolyn Friedlander prints, one Cotton and Steel print and Kona Cotton in White for the background.  

I like this perspective when I was layering Plus Surround in preparation of quilting.

This photo by C&T really shows off the quilting.  I quilted Plus Surround with Aurifil 50 wt. in white on my Bernina.

Here is a detail of the quilting around the central plus sign.

Wait until you see the versions made by Abigail, Jen and Jayne...

Next up is:

Kaleidoscope Plus

Modern Plus Sign Quilts includes two foundation paper piece patterns by Cheryl and Kaleidoscope Plus is one of them.  Isn't Kaleidoscope Plus so crisp and pretty hanging in the sun?

Kaleidoscope Plus is made from Robert Kaufman fabrics in Kona solids and screen printed Kona cotton solids (Blueberry Park) by Karen Lewis Textiles.  It was paper pieced and quilted by Cheryl.

Karen, Sandra and Yvonne have make beautiful versions of Kaleidoscope Plus, go check them out!
