Modern Quilt Month: Freewheeling Single Girl

It's Modern Quilt Month here at Quilt Inspiration! We'll be posting a new modern quilt each weekday... we hope you enjoy our photos! Today's fun quilt is a version of the Freewheeling Single Girl design by Denyse Schmidt.

p.s. Please see our E-Bay shop for great bargains on patterns and vintage collectibles. For continuous free quilt patterns and blog updates, please visit us on Twitter.

Freewheeling Single Girl by Manya Powell, quilted by Creative Lines Quilting

This is a fantastic modern take on the traditional double wedding ring, based on the Freewheeling Single Girl pattern from Denyse Schmidt Quilts.  Manya Powell says: "[This project was] definitely a fun, work-intensive quilt. I added my own touch to it with the color placements." The use of neutral prints as background helps soften the whole appearance of the quilt.
