I hand quilted it with Aurifil 12wt. I initially intended to just do straight lines running through each block, but I felt it needed more stabilising, so I added echo quilting in grey in the opposite direction to make each of the darker rows stand out.
I chose a brick red colour for the binding because it works well with the red spot I used on the internal border.

This quilt has more red in it than anything I've ever made before!
The finished quilt is 76" x 76". I used wool batting so it's lovely and soft.
