Yellow Brick Roads

Here's two more Yellow Brick Roads for the church.  This first one is in lovely rich colors.  The border has directional triangles on it, and the border was pieced such that the triangles circle around the quilt.

I wanted to reflect those triangles in the quilting, so the border has directional triangles.

 And the center has a free-flowing fern meander.

 The 2nd quilt got freeflowing echoed flowers

 Its a very bright and cheerful quilt.  I took the inspiration for quilting from the borders for this quilt as well.

When I can, I like to quilt two of these quilts at once...at 50" wide, they fit perfectly on a 108" piece of backing, and one one piece of batting....you can see in the next few photos how I quilt one, and then line up the 2nd quilt 1/2" below and continue. 

It's easy to see the transition from triangles to flowers on the backing...

 and in the photo below in the top right corner you can see a slight white gap, and then the borders of the triangle quilt
