Yay, my modern mini quilt series (don't I sound all artist-like saying 'series'?) is done! And it's even already hanging in my sewing room! A little TGIFF! gig going on over here. :)I finished the black one, Night Flowers, this week. Of all the minis, this is the colour palette I'm most comfortable with. This one features yellow, purple, orange and red on a black background.

For the quilting, I had originally planned to do horizontal straight-line stitching (Semaphore has vertical straight-line stitching), but decided to try a corner around the blocks and then just echo that outwards and inwards.It looks okay, but I find the vertical part of the quilting is more dominant, which makes it look very similar to Semaphore (the white one). I wish I had stuck to my original plan, but I'm not unhappy enough to rip out the stitches that's for sure!
Like the others in the series, this finishes at 12" by 28".
Speaking of the others, here they all are hanging in my studio (again with the lingo, eh?). Don't they look happy together? The grey one is Grey Squared and the cream one is the one I finished last week, Spring Pebbles.
This is also one of my projects for the Finish-A-Long so this will be linked up with Quilter in the Gap eventually. [Edited: I'm also linking to Sew Modern Monday with Canoe Ridge Creations.]
Christine from a Quilt Monster in My Closet is hosting this week's TGIFF! I'm linking up and hope you do too! Now I'm heading over to check out some quilted goodness.
Have a great weekend, all!
