Black and White Quilt – Last Finish of 2009

Well it is almost 2010 and I just finished binding the Black and White Quilt.  I quilted it today.  I have been wanting to try a freehand Baptist Fan design so that is what I did.  I used a grey thread that blends into the black and whites and allows the quilting definition to take over instead of the thread.

I really like how it turned out.  Here are a few close-ups of the quilting.

 

It was fun to do the fans and I think this will look good on a lot of busy quilts.

Tomorrow is a big day at the quilt shop and this quilt will be ready to hang.  I also cut kits for this project so others can make the quilt.  Last year New Years Day was very busy at the shop so hopefully it will be again tomorrow.
