Focus 2, Bound

This quilt certainly needs a better name than Focus 2, but it's the second Focus quilt I've done.  I'm really happy with my color choices for this quilt.  It is a challenge to find fabric with big, non-directional prints that will both compliment the other two fabrics and make distinct HSTs so that the pattern shows up.




Denise Zapf of Quilting Mojo did the longarming in record time.  I let her chose the pantograph because I'm always happy with her choices.  It is hard to see on the front, but on the back, the quilting looks like big leaves from a banana plant.


I love that banana backing! It is part of Tula Pink's new Monkey Wrench line.  

This quilt is for my SIL Jill who had a knee replacement on Monday.  Just need to print a label and get it in the mail.
