In these images, the designer free motion quilted in the white areas only so the orange, yellow and red pieces would stand out from the quilt surface.
She quilted pearls in the B pieces, back-and-forth zigzags in the white triangles, and curvy back-and-forth ribbons in the E pieces. The E pieces are a great space to try out different quilting designs – let your imagination run free!
