I recently quilted a quilt for my friend, Rose Marie. She made this “Abloom” quilt from a pattern in Amy Ellis’s book “Modern Heritage Quilts“.
Since the quilt is chock full of negative space, Rose Marie asked me if I would quilt it and fill up all that negative space with lots of modern quilting. I said, “I can do that!”
So what follows here is a whole lot of pictures of how I filled up all the negative space on this quilt!
In this section, I extended the circle formed by the piecing into the negative space:
I repeated this in a couple more spots on the quilt to sort of tie everything together.
I used some random fillers:
And some lines that ran through several sections:
I quilted straight lines every so often, just to keep things on the level (haha!):
And just did some other random fun things all over.
It was really fun to do, even though it took a lot of hours.
Here’s a shot of the back side:
Thanks, Rose Marie, for letting me have my way with your quilt!

This quilt was one that I would call nothing-to-write-to-mother about. And then Shelly quilted it!! And now there is no negative space anywhere on this quilt. I love having a little bit of the marvels that Shelly creates all the time. Thank you – thank you.
