I put the finishing stitches into my Pink Midwest Modern Quilt last night. I love how the absence of a border and the use of white gives it a more modern look – quite a different look to some of my earlier quilts. It was a snap to machine quilt using straight lines on the diagonal.
I am in need of a new hand sewing project so am planning on joining in on Kellie’s quilt-a-long! The Joseph’s Coat/Orange Peel block looks really effective. Now I just need to decide on the colour scheme.
Sarah and I are off to Brisbane tomorrow for the Tournament of Minds Finals so things will be quiet around here over the next week.
Edit: 2012 – You can find the pattern for this quilt here.

well done lisa, it looks lovely, very fresh. the orange peel quilt should be gorgeous, i was unlucky enough to be a part of the shop when trish harper’s quilt was stolen along with others at the same time. it was a very difficult time and we all know who did it!!!!
Oh my goodness, this quilt is beautiful! great work!
Simply Gorgeous – Good Luck with Tournament of the Minds!
Oh Lisa! That quilt is breathtaking! The Amy Butler fabrics look stunning, and the simple quilting design is perfect…I love how you’e photographed it on wicker too…very nice.Have a wonderful time in Brisbane…will be thinking of you 🙂
oh my it is sooooo gorgeous! I love it. have fun away girls
You’re just have to take the quilt with you! All the best at the Tournament of Minds…!
It is stunning, Lisa…absolutely stunning! I personally don’t like a lot of border and such on quilts, so I really love how you’ve opted for no border here and just simple binding. I also love the diagonally quilting stitching–great choice. The whole things is just a beauty to behold. I think this one is my fave! You are the Quilt Queen, I think! Happy Day :o) ((HUGS))
So crisp and fresh looking! And who doesn’t love those fabrics? You made them sing!
Beautiful. I’m a firm believer in not all quilts need a border! Sometimes you just know when to stop.
lovely, just my colours. a border is indeed not always needed.
I love your quilt! It’s so beautiful! Your choice of fabrics is amazing!
Another stunning quilt! I love the quilting design – perfect!

Wow, Lisa, this turned out so gorgeous! I really love the diagonal line quilting. I agree with you, the quilting and the white make this a lovely modern quilt. Great job!
I also love the “borderless” look!
Oh Lisa — it’s gorgeous! I love the fabrics you’ve chosen and your quilting looks just perfect! I’m debating about Kellie’s quiltalong, as I have lots of yoyos for my portable project. I know just the color scheme I’d go with though!
Wow that is beautiful . All the best in Brisbane , take care .
I love how you quilted it. Simple elegance!
