Catalyst Quilt for Make Modern Magazine

Image
I haven't had too many quilts to share this year but I have been working behind the scenes and I finally get to share one of those quilts, my Catalyst quilt for Make Modern Magazine.    I was initially inspired by the colorful resistors on a circuit board and set out to design a quilt with striped blocks.  By the time I finished I realized the blocks didn't look much like resistors but I liked the the heightened energy of the design from the mix of stripes and red.  Thankfully my own verbiage, heightened energy and mix, lead me to a quilt title that made sense, Catalyst. I decided to mat ch quilt this design with slightly skewed lines since there was already so much going on in the top .  This type of quilting added a great texture without distracting from the overall look of the quilt.  I used the same thread and color throughout, Aurifil Forty3 .   This quilt is currently available as a pattern in issue #36 of Make Modern Magazine and in addition to my pattern, Jane. at Make
