Serpentine

 

Cathy brought this fabulous Sea Monster quilt and asked for custom quilting.  The pattern is called Serpentine and was designed by Tula Pink and is made with fabrics from her collections.  It is available as a free download on Free Spirit fabrics website.

Angela Walters quilted Tula Pink's original quilt and Cathy like they feel of the quilting, but requested for hers to be done less densely.

I doodled a variety of ideas and sent them off to Cathy for her opinion and she selected the version you see below.  I stitched in the ditch around the points and circles.  I added an extra point in the solid blue and some curved lines in the centre.

The last request Cathy had was for the addition of a baby sea monster like Angela added to Tula's quilt.

I used the same blue thread that I used on the body segments so that it didn't totally get lost in the background.  It was a fun little addition to the quilt.

Cathy also had a Tula Pink wide backing to pull the who quilt together.
