Aurora Borealis

Marion made this striking quilt for her grandson.  The fabric is a collection from Northcott called Aurora Borealis.

Originally Marion thought that she might prefer custom quilting to highlight some of the motifs in the panel.  We discussed the pros and cons and other options.   When looking at different pantogrpahs, Marion turned the Bora Bora pantograph from its usual horizontal orientation to a vertical one that echoed the designs in the panel and it was the perfect idea!

The quilting shows up amazingly well on the Cuddle backing. We used a shiny purple thread on the front and a mint green thread on the back.
