I've been machine quilting Ladies of Downton Abbey. I have finished quilting each block. I still have the sashing as well as the set in triangles along the edges left to quilt. I thought this would be a good time to work in all my threads. Each block was quilted individually so I cut thread each time. Each block was quilted the same way. I tried to make a secondary block design using my quilt pattern. I think it's hard to see in the above picture.
You can sort of see the pattern in the backing. I felt like this was taking me forever but I'm glad I stuck with it. I still have to decide how to quilt the remaining areas. I'm hoping the quilt "speaks" to me!! I used King Tut thread in a variegated beige color.
I think my two kitties approved of my quilting! They liked laying on it and getting it ready for me! It's so nice to have 2 helpers.
I love this pattern! I especially like that light lilac-ey colored block...so pretty...

ReplyDeleteThanks, Karin! I'm so glad the blocks are done! I was getting so tired of that same pattern!
DeleteYour quilt is looking beautiful!! From the gorgeous colours to the gorgeous quilting!! It actually shows up the best in the last photo with your cute wee helpers!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Raewyn! I think you're right! It's so hard to show the quilting sometimes! The kitties actually helped out in that regard!
