I finished Christi's quilt this morning.  Christi wanted contemporary quilting on what would be considered a more traditional quilt top.  What a great idea! With the help of some great suggestions from my friends at MQR in the machine quilting world, i settled on a spiral square in each of the white areas, diagonal lines through the lattice and bead board in the border.  

I think i captured the 'contemporary' feel.  What do you think?

there is a secondary circle quilted around each of the blue curved pieces.  Doesn't  show in the pictures very well, but i noticed it right away and like the unexpected addition.

I marked lines for easy reference and used 

Deloa Jone's Boomerang. 

 I purchased this tool at Machine Quilter's Expo in October and this is the first time i've used it and i LoVe  iT! 

I did consider curved cross hatching in the white areas but the time involved would have run the cost up beyond the budget.  I really like the spiral square...it reminded me of snowflakes.  Maybe it's that time of the year??
