Midnight Flight

Modern abstract quilt project - 'Midnight Flight'. I started with a plain black background and sandwiched the quilt. I quilted white lines of varying stitches to give the quilt movement and add texture. Then I layered the strips and circles - interlacing them and appliqued in place. I added more quilting to the circles and around the appliqued pieces. Lastly, I pieced and appliqued the butterfly to the top. I had difficulty squaring the quilt but I think it came out pretty good. I made a label for the back. Modern abstract has not been in my wheelhouse for quilts and I'm glad I took this course. I also included a second quilt based on this process.
