I hope everyone had a great 4th of July!! It was a hot day but we had a nice cookout with lots of great food. I did manage to start machine quilting the Whiskas and Catnip Quilt. The outer border is made up of swags with ribbon candy inside and straight lines finishing up the area. It's hard to see since my thread blended so well with the fabric.
Once the outer border was done, I started on the border made up of cat's cradle blocks. I quilted arcs around the inner area and a variation of arcs in the larger triangles. I hate making decisions on how to quilt different areas, but since this is such a large quilt, I'll be doing lots of that! It may slow me down but I like taking the time to figure out which motif to stitch.
Ooh, I almost forgot! I quilted stars in the corner blocks. This is so quick and easy but always looks great! I'll post more pictures as I make more progress.
Really beautiful, Rosemary!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Linda!
DeleteBeautiful quilting, Rosemary! Yes, take your time to decide on motifs to quilt. I do that when I custom quilt on my domestic machine, I don't want to mess up.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Astrid! You understand what I'm going through! This next border has me working with graph paper and trying out designs!
DeleteWhat gorgeous quilting, Rosemary--this little piece will be so nicely textured--just right and not taking over those adorable images you've pieced...nice work in progress Hugs, Julierose
