Modern Metallic Challenge

Name: Metallic Prism

Design: Amy Ellis Modern Neutrals

Size:  18"" by 45"

Fabric: Robert Kaufman Modern Metallics and Kona White

Quilted: by me with Aurifil 50 wt in grey

This is what I made for the Modern Metallic Challenge that is going on with Modern guilds in the Pacific Northwest.  It is a block from Amy Ellis's book Modern Neutrals.  I decided to make a table runner because I did not have a ton of the fabric and I think it made a really elegant table runner.  The block is called prism and it came together so nicely despite the plethora of bias edges.  I used Kona White along with the Robert Kaufman metallics.  It really is a lovely fabric.  I had four different colours and used the darkest and the lightest in the blocks, the darker grey on the binding and then the leftovers along with the tan on the back.  I super quilted it with really close matchstick quilting in Aurifil 50 wt in grey.  Oh my goodness did the quilting ever finish this nicely.  It just happens like that.  I had it all made and I thought ya, okay, but then when I finished the quilting I totally love it!  The texture the close quilting gave is just so zowie!
