This quilt was next in line to be quilted. I basted it in May last year. I pieced it in Feb, 2010. In case you missed all the layouts I tried, you can check them out here, here, and the final layout here. The main thing that keeps me from finishing them when I make them is that I can't decide how I'm going to quilt them. I finally decided that I will ditch quilt this on every seam. First I ditch quilted between the blocks and then I quilted 6 blocks of the 16 last night.
I am using Superior brand Rainbows thread. You won't see the quilting from a distance but when you get close you will see the pretty multicolor thread. I see a bit of lint from the batting on the black fabric too. I'll have to take a lint roller to this one when I'm done quilting.
You are a better man than me. I don't think I would do that much ditch quilting. But of course it will make this beautiful quilt even more beautiful. That's why I always enjoy seeing what you are doing - you do it to perfection!
You are in a quilting mood now! Love when it bites. The quilting I did yesterday was the first in a long time, and I still have the itch. I have many to quilt...unfortunately!

You have some serious piecing going on here! Love it!

ReplyDeleteAll your finishes are looking wonderful. So exciting to see what you do with them.
ReplyDeleteI understand the "quilter's block" - not knowing how you want to quilt it. So glad you are getting past it....the deadline seems to have helped you.
ReplyDeleteThey are all turning out lovely.

Another great quilt. Love the Zig Zag layout. Did you pick a binding? Black with the red dots might be nice.
ReplyDeleteLove this one...it just makes you happy! I think it is the polka dots popping up here and there,
ReplyDeleteAnother wonderful quilt!!!!! Looks as if we are in for a little bit of snow. It will be good sewing weather.
