The pattern here, Fractal, is from the book Quilt Lab by Alexandra Winston. It's a book of patterns inspired by science- chemical formulas, math, etc. Very modern and fun. I bought the book for this specific pattern.
I'm only showing a little because the story is the quilting. It's not exactly matchstick quilting- that would be even denser- but it's more modern than my usual style. I'm liking it a lot though.
It will end up as a gift for a family friend, nice sizable throw about 60x60 inches or so. The batting is my usual Quilters Dream Green and the thread is Aurifil 40wt in Aluminum. I haven't decided on a binding yet.
It's taking a long time just due to the density of the quilting. I've been working on it for two weeks and I'm only barely half way done. Usually my half-ass minimum-standards approach to machine quilting means I'm done in two weeks or so! And I'm definitely going to need another spool of thread!
To measure the intervals I'm just using the quilting foot. The biggest challenge is keeping those lines straight so the quilt doesn't lose its shape. I started in the center and worked my way out to the right hand edge; now I'm back to the center and going out the other way. Wish me luck!
