I have been working on finishing some quilt tops that have been sitting folded up in my sewing room for far too long. In the last couple weeks I was able to wrap up these two beautiful wall hangings that I made using Moda Chocolote Bars (2.5" x 5" rectangles). I love precuts, and I had to try these delectable fabric bites!
I love this nontraditional setting of the half rectangles pieces. Instead of setting them into diamonds, I set them into this fun kite formation.
I quilted the hanging with a meander and added small floral details along the meandering path.
I love to see quilts outdoors! Fall is creeping into my backyard though!
I created a low volume pieced backing for this little hanging.
The second wall hanging measures about the same as the first, but keeps the Chocolate Bars whole. I pieced them into a coin style quilt and used the simple bordering to set these beautiful fabrics off.
Once again I love to see a quilt in the outdoors!
I used both of these pieces to practice some of my free motion quilting. I practiced adding details into a meander, and I also practiced some feather work. It was certainly fun to work on these techniques, and I like the effect they gave to these pieces, but I could definitely stand to practice some more!
I hope you enjoyed these two new additions to my family of quilts!
