I really like how the bold colors create such a strong graphic design with more simple lines in the pattern. In my quilt, I used Kona colors honeysuckle, chartreuse, and white.
It took me a very long time to figure out the quilting design for Isosceles Addition, I wanted something more than an allover design, but I could not think of how to custom quilting it. Many thanks to Paige Alexander for helping me come up with the design.
Using Aurifil soft white (color 2021) in 50 wt, I quilted a series of randomly spaced straight lines between the plus signs, then filled in the areas of the plus signs with a bear claw quilting design. I really like the contrast of the straight lines and the curved lines.
