Back then, she brought me a quilt that actually had a similar feel to this quilt - lots of squares, very modern and geometric. She looked at my quilting sample books and chose an interlocking squares motif for an all-over quilting pattern. What I didn't tell her at the time (but have since) was that I didn't actually LIKE that quilting motif. When I see very square and straight piecing, I usually recommend a softer, rounder quilting motif, to flow through and around all those straight seams. But I followed her wishes, and ended up eating crow, because the end result was wonderful!
So when she came to me earlier this month and had a new quilt in the same design sense, she requested the same treatment again. And again - I think it turned out great! So from now on, I'm calling this concept - squares on top of squares - the "Sandy Tait Special".
All quilting is free-motion, hand-guided on a longarm quilting machine.
Her back is as lovely as her top!
