Don't stop Friday finishes!

Don't Stop

72 inches square

pieced by my mom and  machine quilted by me

I finished this quilt a week ago and it is now in the hands of its new owner.

The name comes from the Fleetwood Mac song

and some of the lyrics are machine quilted into the darker triangles.

I did a simple motif on the dark triangles

and more intense quilting on the neutral ones.

I varied the background motifs to avoid boredom

and to give the quilt some energy and motion.

Here's a view of the quilting from the back.

it has quilt shop quality flannel on the back, 

and sale wall quilt shop fabrics on the front.

This quilt started as a birthday kit for my mom.

I cut four coordinating prints and background fabric into 6.5 inch HST

with the Accuquilt Go cutter.

Now my mom is an award-winning quilter who makes beautiful applique quilts,

but I wanted her to have a mindless sewing project

where she could just piece, and then put the top together.

Since all of her kids and grandkids are well supplied with quilts,

she was happy to give this to another family member dealing with a serious illness.

I bound the quilt with a zig zag print cut on the length of grain to get diagonal stripes.
