I don't actually have a name for it yet, but I call the pattern checkerboard and diamonds. I machine quilted it on my long arm quilter, using Isacord thread in Chiffon color. It is actually custom quilted, unlike the others I've done so far. The border is done in a continuous feather. The diamonds each have a flower motif. The checkerboard center was quilted using the Elvira quilting ruler by Angela Walters. The white space around the diamonds have a feather motif (I guess that's what you'd call it). And the border and outside of the checkerboard are outlined using a straight-edge quilting ruler. I finished the binding on it today, which was done totally on the sewing machine.
It was my first time using quilting rulers on the long arm machine. I've used them a little on my domestic machine. It takes a bit to get used to, but I feel like I was getting the hang of it by the time I was done. It is far from perfect, but I'm happy with how it looks. I don't know what I'll end up doing with it. There is no plan for it at the moment.
This is my 8th finished UFO for the year. It actually leapfrogged over a quilt that I'm in the process of hand binding.
