Bermuda Triangle {a finished quilt!!}

Happy Labor Day to those of you in the United States!  Today I am here to share Bermuda Triangle, my latest finish.  The colors of this one remind me of the sea, so I thought that name would fit perfectly :)

I have to admit, I was terrified of quilting this one because I loved it so much and didn't want to screw it up!!

I debated on how to quilt it FOREVER!  I pulled my threads out as shown in my last post.  And that's when it hit me, I would use all 5 of these awesome colors and just do organic wavy lines, no marking or planning, just wing it.

Couldn't decide on a color, so I guess I'll have to use all of them  @alexveronelli #aurifil Below you can see the different colored threads a bit better.  I used Aurifil 50wt in 5006, 4182, 2600, 1148 and 2625 (in order as photographed above).

It was a lot of fun to do the quilting and see it progress.  I started with one color and made wavy lines all the way down the quilt and then picked another color, and started over doing the same thing until I was done with all 5 colors of thread.

This quilt is probably my current favorite. I LOVE the colors and am very happy with how it all turned out in the end.
