Pictures just can not do justice to this beautiful quilt. Cynthia EPP (English Paper Pieced) this large King sized quilt. The pattern is La Passacaglia, a Willyne Hammerstein pattern with Tula Pink fabrics.
I custom quilted it using rulers, and freehanded quilting with Essence invisible Thread on the top and light pink MicroQuilter thread on the back. It took me hours to plan how to quilt it, then a good 52 hours of quilting, but boy, was it fun! Here's a close up of the quilting.
I chose 6 basic ways to quilt the medallions, then decided which medallions to do with which design (photo below, plus the six design plans that I labeled with the name of each color), but then mixed and matched, or totally changed it to fit the fabrics, but bore in mind what designs would be next to it, so they wouldn't repeat too closely.
The borders have feathers and piano keys.
