I thought I would share my modern sashing design for all the freehand quilters out there. If you do not freehand quilt, but instead have a computerized quilting system, no worries, as I plan to redraw in Adobe Illustrator to send to my favorite digitizer, the amazing Jessica at Digitech Patterns.
Here is the design,titled “Sprocket,” which is perfect for modern quilts:

Here is my visual for how to learn this design.

As with any design, practicing is the key to learning. grab a piece of paper or a tablet, then start sketching! Here is what it looks like quilted up:
Have fun and I hope you enjoy my modern design! Carla

Hi Leeanne! Yes, this is a masculine design. Thanks for suggesting it for a little boys quilt. 🙂
