Geared Up

This is the Geared Up quilt, one in a series of quilts that I'm working on to explore the concept of activating space, both positive and negative in my quilts.  I love the interplay between the navy and gray spaces in this quilt.  The gray dominates as the primary design, but the navy supports in such a great way.


I also love the quilting on this piece.  I used one of the geometric quilting designs that will be in my new book, Walk: Mastering Machine Quilting With Your Walking Foot.  Jaime, my studio mate pushed me to do this quilting on this piece and it so worked.  Sometimes you need a push from a really smart cookie!



I think the quilting design creates beautiful rotational movement for the piecing without overwhelming a simple, graphic design.  I'm very pleased with it, I hope you enjoy it too.

    Fabulous all the way around! I also wonder what the same quilting design would look like on the piece as a single design.

    Awesome! I'm guessing that was no 'quilt in a day' effort. lol

    Smokin' Red HOT! You're pumping on all cylinders now! I Love your quilting. You've executed perfectly to show off the hard edges yet add a feel of ephemeral. Additional *contrast*, negative vs. positive. Brava, Jacquie!
