My kaleidoscope blocks are waiting patiently while I attend to other things. One of those things has been a commissioned quilt based on the Modern Petals table runner I published in the Winter 2014 issue of Modern Patchwork.
A client saw the table runner and asked that I make one to fit a narrow wall in her home. I said, “Yes,” and got to work making a larger version, customized to fit the wall.
I did the quilting differently than the first time around, quilting more densely in the background and filling the petals with a wide straight line spiral. Since the background quilting is so dense, it flattens the background, which makes the petals puff up a bit. It’s a nice contrast.
This weekend I finished it and sent it off to its new home (the quilt tag is by Gutentags).
I hope it is everything my client imagined it to be.

Gutentags says they are not doing new tags at this time, only re-orders for previous customers. =( Any suggestions on another place to get custom tags?
Absolutely beautiful! Again.
Love it. Great choice with your quilting designs. I'm sure the client will love it.
Very nice! Really love the color choices and the clean look.
Did you use Jennie's curved ruler for your Modern Petals – so so so beautiful and thoroughly modern!
Gorgeous! I am sure the client will love it!

Smart person to commission a piece from you!!
It is such a beautiful table runner! The color combination is gorgeous and I love the addition of the spiral quilting!
Just so lovely!!! Your client should be over the moon!!!
Love the effect of the quilting, I never have the kind of patience to do that!
Do you have a pattern for this terrific table runner? I've shown it to friends and they all want to make it.
