Blogger's Quilt Festival - Canvas Lines - Fall 2016

It's that time of the year again...twice a year during quilt market, Amy, who blogs over at Amy's Creative Side, hosts the Blogger's Quilt Festival.  We are allowed to link up two quilts to the various categories and have the opportunity to visit and be inspired by other blogger's wonderful quilts.  I am excited to be not only a participant this year, but also a sponsor of the festival.

My second entry to the festival is my Canvas Lines quilt which I designed and made for The Quilter's Planner 2017.  The pattern is included with the planner along with a number of other wonderful patterns.  You can find out more about the planner and pre-order a copy here.

My post about the quilt and design of Canvas Lines can be found here and I am entering the quilt into the Original Designs Quilt category.

I designed Canvas Lines with a slight tribal feel with alternating diagonal geometric shapes and negative space. Canvas Lines combined some of the prints from the Doe collection by Carolyn Friedlander for Robert Kaufman with some crisp Kona white fabric. 

I quilted Canvas Lines with a square meandering pattern using Aurifil 50 wt in white (color 2024). I think that the square meander added great texture to the negative space without taking away from the pieced blocks.
