Not Your Grandmother's Patchwork Quilt

My Modern Herringbone quilt is finished.  Get ready for lots of pictures!

The pattern was in the June 2014 issue of American Patchwork & Quilting magazine, and the original had a different color scheme.  

But I went with a different combination of colors, all solids, with white and light gray.

I'm so happy with the way it came together.  My first "modern" quilt.

Karen Thompson did the longarm quilting, a series of overlapping circles.  This is a panto or edge-to-edge quilting design.

In keeping with the modern look, I used a text print on the back.  I think this fabric is from Riley Blake.  It looks like newspaper columns but the text is actually inspirational sayings.

I used a dark gray solid for the binding.  It fnishes it off without getting in the way of the other colors.

Another shot of the quilt on a full size bed.  The finished quilt is 80" square (I enlarged the pattern by making more blocks).
