I love making half square triangle quilts and so I was delighted to see Sherry bring along this modern take on the HST.  It really shows how a choice selection of fabrics can be combined to make a stunning quilt.  It was just one of three quilts which she brought to me for longarm quilting last summer, which were destined for her grandchildren who live the other side of the world.

We had fun choosing the quilt patterns and thread colours for each and for this particular one we chose a bright neon orange thread. I have posted a short video of this quilt being stitched out on my Facebook page and you can view it at the very bottom of this blog.  The LED setting on my longarm machine highlighted the fluorescence of the thread and looked AMAZING!  On the rare occasion that the quilt is under the same particular lighting, the dragonflies should glow, but otherwise it will just look like ordinary orange thread.

Here is the digital quilting pattern which we used, 'Dragon Wings', always popular and always gives great results on a quilt.
