I’m about halfway done quilting vertical straight lines on my re-imagined quilt. I started quilting in the middle and worked to the right, quilting lines 1/2″ apart. I’m marking the lines with my yellow gaffer tape. Now I’m quilting from the middle toward the left edge.
Here’s a close up ‘glamor shot’ of the quilted section.
I have a few ideas for additional quilting – perhaps more vertical lines closer together, or maybe some horizontal straight lines. I’ll finish this quilting first, then consider some options for additional quilting.
My One Monthly Goal for July was to finish piecing this quilt top. So I’ve achieved that, and more. Linking up to Elm Street Quilts One Monthly Goal – July Finish Link-up.

It looks amazing! And very different from what it started out as.
Great job on the quilting and yea for meeting your OMG!
Very nice! Thanks for linking up with Elm Street Quilts One Monthly Goal and congrats on your finish.
Thank you so much for your inspiring and educational posts – you are so generous with your knowledge. And your work is fabulous!
I really like the final lay out. As for the quilting — I too have been using that method for a couple of pieces that are already somewhat “chaotic”. I think that we often under-rate the power of straight line quilting. 🙂
