I was looking forward to quilting Green Tea and Sweet Beans. I think it's more of a challenge than I had thought it would be. There are so many diverse blocks that I have to make decisions constantly on how to quilt that area. It's coming along fine. Here's a portion of one of the blocks. I made swirls in the corner pieces and loops in the white pieces. It will be interesting to see how all the quilting will look when it's off the longarm.
I made feathers in the inner circle as well as the outside the circle. Sometimes, my white thread seems to blend in too well. I can't even see it!!
I quilted cross hatching behind these flowers. The picture leaves out some of the lines. They're hard to see as well.
I made petals outside the circle and echoed them. I just made curves inside the circle.
Phew! I'm not even half done! Too many decisions!
It's coming along very nicely, and such a unique way to make a one-of-a-kind quilt. I think the cross hatching behind the applique looks especially nice.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Em! It's a challenge but I'm enjoying it!
Deletethis is a challenge for sure; loving those swirls in the corners and I always like the look of cross hatching--nice work hugs, Julierose
ReplyDeleteThanks, Julierose. I'm making progress a little bit at a time. I can't go too fast with this one.
DeleteLooking great Rosemary. Must be fun to play
ReplyDeleteThank you, Dawn! It's fun and a pain at the same time!
DeleteI think you're doing a great job! It's a complex quilt with many elements and I should think patience is definitely needed,
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! I think you're right that patience is needed with this quilt. That's not always easy for me but I'm trying!!
