Striped Quilt

This quilt was pieced back when I cleaned out all my blue and green scraps.  My favorite part is the hand quilting.  I had never quilted this traditional pattern before, but really enjoyed it, and love the way it looks.  I will definitely be doing it again.

The quilting pattern is called Baptist Fans, and I found a neat tutorial for a neat way of marking them when you don't have a stencil.  Here it is.  If I was going to do it often, I'd maybe get the stencil, but this worked quite well I thought.

I think this quilt is a good example of how I like to mix the modern and vintage vibes together to keep the quilt from fitting into one specific category.  It's scrappy, so that gives it a vintage feel.  The color coded stripes give it a more modern graphic edge.  Then the traditional hand quilting gives it a vintage feel again.  Do I explain myself?  I'm just realizing that this is an aspect I really like to put in my quilts, but hadn't verbalized it before.
