My Modern Quilt

I guess this would qualify as a "modern" quilt.  It didn't start out that way, but after I completed my improv log cabin blocks, I challenged myself to put them into a non-traditional setting.  I really like the clean look that the solid white fabric gives.

Then I had to tackle the dilemma of how to quilt this so-called modern quilt. I have admired quilts that were quilted with perfectly straight lines and decided to give it a try.  I probably won't do that again!  

It took so long!  Even though the over-all effect is good, the lines are not very straight, despite my best efforts. 

I love the back and binding that I found.

The only thread that matched the binding was this antique wooden spool.  I used my Thread Heaven and never had a snag or fray.

In other news, I continue to work on the graffiti challenge.  Here are a couple of progress shots from last night and this morning:

Sometimes I like it and sometimes I don't.  I still have a long way to go.
