This quilt is called Isosceles Addition and it appears in the latest issue (#60) of Love Patchwork & Quilting.
I really like the strong geometric shapes and the bright colors of this design. I was so happy to see that a little piece of the quilt made it to the cover :)

In my quilt, I used Kona colors honeysuckle, chartreuse, and white. The bright pink and green pop against the 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 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.
Here is a beautifully styled shot from Love, Patchwork & Quilting.
I love the Modern Quilts Unlimited magazine, the magazine is so bright and happy. Check out Love Patchwork & Quilting Issue 60!
If you love plus sign quilts as much as I do, be sure to check out the Modern Plus Sampler Quilt Along that I will be hosting with my book co-author Paige Alexander. The reveal of the design will be on June 7th and the quilt along will kick off on July 5th. You can find out more information here.
