It should be no secret that I am fascinated with mandala designs. My mandala madness first began with free motion quilted mandalas for Project Quilting (Mystical Mandala & Crayon Etched Mandala) followed by some Mini Mandalas. Then I experimented with some fusible appliqued mandalas for my Cherrywood Lion King Challenge entry, Circle of Life.
And now, I unveil my newest mandala design: Modern Mandalas!!! Below is "Hot Pink Prototype," my first attempt at piecing a modern mandala. I just love how the strips of solid black and the zebra print sparkle against the hot pink background!

A variety of looping designs were densely free-motion quilted into the hot pink background, adding contrast and loft to the pieced design.

I am really in love with these new Modern Mandalas and hope you are too...as there may just be a few more Modern Mandala quilt designs on the near horizon!

Love It! It is PINK😀
ReplyDeleteIt is very pink...which just helps the pieced strips pop and sparkle!! I am so glad you like!
DeleteYour combination of fabrics is fantabulous! And your quilting is superior!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Barbara...the fabrics were all from my stash as I wasn't 100% sure of the design. I really had fun stitching all the loop de loop designs...very zen!
DeleteAmazing how the black fabric emphasizes certain parts and the stripe de-emphasizes. Well done!
ReplyDeleteThanks Paige...it was really fun watching the mandala design bloom as each strip was inserted. For me, the black and white print adds a lot of sparkle & movement to the design!
DeleteHot pink, stripes, and a bold, graphic design. Such a win! Thank you for linking up to Show Me Something with Stripes!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Yes--this was a pretty electric design!! Although the next Mod Mandala used electric green--Lime Light!!!!
