This was a fun one to quilt! The pattern is called Tonga Punch Morse Code. I changed it a bit by taking off the borders and I added a few extra rows. I like this pattern because each row is one 2-1/2 by WOF strip cut into pieces. Original pattern can be found here.
I thought it would be fun to quilt dashes and dots in the sashing. They aren't even close to perfect, but if you don't get too close they look really cool! I was also going to do a square spiral in each row, but after quilting the first one, it was way too dense.
So I switched to a boxy type line that you can see above. Since I had already quilted a row of the spirals, I continued that design every 4 rows. It worked out evenly down the quilt.
I threw in this fabric from Hobby Lobby on the back because the tan was a little short. It's almost the same colors as the front. It was nice to try some different quilting for a change. It has great texture, can't wait to see it after it gets a wash!
