Mondrian Quilt Top

Mondrian quilt top
Piet Mondrian. Composition: Light Color Planes with Grey Contours. 1919.

As a comparison, here’s the original piece.

I made a to scale replica of this painting in quilt form, and I am just so dang impressed with myself. I made it 12′ x 12′ so I don’t have to add a border or anything, just a backing and binding. My only problem now is how to quilt it. I’ve done queen sized quilts on my regular sewing machine, but I think a king is just asking too much. I really love a densely quilted quilt, but I don’t want anything to distract from the bigger picture. Hmmm. This will take a lot of pondering.
