I wanted to experiment with a modern design and a color combination of greys and oranges. Two sizes of rectangles in a symmetric arrangement and vertical lines of machine quilting are the main elements of the quilt.

There are so many new grey and green prints appearing in quilt stores right now. I wanted to do a simple symmetric design to show off the ones I was collecting. This pattern allowed me to keep the quilting in straight vertical lines with accent lines in the sashing using a decorative stitch with a variegated green thread.

I've always enjoyed working with black and white with pops of bright color. This modern pattern caught my eye at one of my favorite local quilt shops. Easy to piece.
