Maria’s Into The Deep Quilt

If you follow me on instagram @leishakaye then you might have seen this incredible quilt on my machine this week!

Maria and her daughter Mary each made one, Mary’s will be quilted like Maria’s next. It’s fun to have twinning quilts!!

This is the Into The Deep pattern that was an exclusive pattern taught by Tula Pink herself on a cruise back in 2018. Unfortunately, I can’t find a pattern to link. Of course these are Tula’s gorgeous fabrics as well.

When I was brainstorming how to quilt Maria and Mary’s quilts, I had the thought to add some Graffiti style quilting between the squares. Which I think goes perfectly with Tula’s fabrics. Glad they were game!!

I used Natural White Omni thread from Superior Threads and 8020 cotton poly Winline Textiles batting.

These are close ups of some of my favorite elements. Graffiti Quilting allows me to make stuff up as I go. Below I love the long skinny hooked leaf with the scalloped inside. Above, the simple leaf with the circles feather tip. There are many other fun elements just like these throughout the quilt. Check out my instagram for a video I posted of this quilt.

In the squares I quilted a simple x and then echoed the lines 1” outside the center x. I used the 12” Edge ruler from Linda at The Quilted Pineapple. Go to: https://www.thequiltedpineapple.com/shop/
