White & Indigo Quilt

February has seen a return to quilting and the first quilt I would like to share this year is a beautiful white and indigo quilt made by Peney, one of my regular customers.  Peney has a love of Japanese fabrics and this, combined with her immaculate piecing has resulted in yet another gorgeous quilt.
 
 
We decided to quilt an orange-peel motif in each of the indigo squares.  The orange-peel was then continued into the white sashing together with some curved lines and swirls.  An added bonus of this quilting design was that it could be quilted continuously.
 
I love the secondary designs which have been created in the sashing around the indigo squares - the quilting seems to draw your eyes around the quilt.
 
 
 
 
Peney's quilt has made for a great start to 2013 - I hope to share many more wonderful customer quilts this year.
