It seems appropriate to post a quilt with black in it on the day of the solar eclipse. Thunderstorms are in the forecast here during the eclipse. The last nine patch is quilted, this might be my favorite because the colors are so bold but also very cozy looking or maybe it is because there is a crispness to the air in the evenings and early mornings. This quilt has a wool batting in it which has a lot more loft than any of the cotton battings. I didn't want to loose the puffiness by quilting too densely. I free motion quilted all the arcs and they look pretty uniform for free hand work just goes to show what practice and repetition do for the end product. --Ann--

Oh, Ann, it's a beautiful finish! Just the right amount of quilting and I love the fabrics that seem to glow.
