this new favourite of mine. The quilt top went together so quickly - the pattern is from the book the Modern Quilt Workshop - the slowdown in finishing began with finding a backing fabric. I decided to use an all white sheet for the backing. Then I discovered a flaw in the fabric that I couldn't work around. My solution? Take some inspiration from Amandajean's quilting expertise and add a pieced strip into the solid backing. Problem solved!
I just need to decide on my machine quilting. The tried and true stippling? That would be easy. Yet, I'm leaning towards trying some long, curvy lines instead. I'm becoming too predictable by using stippling as my quilting style default. The next hurdle? Coming up with something to use for the binding! ;o)
This is so pretty!
ReplyDeleteThat's a neat pattern! It will look wonderful when it's completed.
ReplyDeleteVery nice! The back looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteLove the pattern ... may need to buy that book!
ReplyDeletei just made a smaller quilt with long wavy lines - used the walking foot, so not super wavy, but i like how it turned out and will do it again:-)
ReplyDeletethis one is a beauty!
Very clever - love the back and the front! Can't wait to see how you finish it.
ReplyDeleteLove this pattern and the colors you chose!!!
ReplyDeleteLove the dimensional look to the quilt. I may have to switch from crazy quilting to sane (traditional) quilting.
ReplyDeleteReally nice. Can't wait to see it finished.
