And now, back to our Regularly Scheduled Programming... Look at this beautiful Move Over quilt that my client Julia brought me for quilting a few months ago! Back in the Summer when I was quilting this, the staggered strips of turquoise blue in this quilt reminded me of ocean waves crashing on the shore -- the white strips were the foam. But now, with all the snow getting dumped on the Northeastern United States, I see a blizzard in Julia's quilt, and the black and white polka dots are snowflakes!

| Julia's 60 x 77 Move Over Quilt with Rolling Waves E2E |
Move Over is a pattern by Mari Martin for Connecting Threads that is available as an instant download here. It's a beginner-friendly pattern that would go together quickly for a more experienced quilter, and I can envision it looking great in a mix of red, green and white fabrics for the holidays. I quilted this for Julia with Rolling Waves E2E, a digital design that can definitely suggest waves as the name implies. On Julia's quilt, this quilting design in conjunction with the straight line "bars" and irregular speckled polka dot fabric also reminds me of a recurring motif in Gustav Klimt's fabulous Art Nouveau paintings from early in the 20th century:

See those wavy lines with swirls in the woman's dress?
