I love the fall of the year, the weather cools down, and it is comfortable again to get under a quilt. I pieced this quilt last year, and it is next in line to get quilted. The block is called peony or carolina lily and I have always loved this pattern. It has alternate blocks that are solid background which leaves a lot of room for quilting. I have chosen a feathered wreath to go into the alternate blocks. The other pieced blocks will be outlined quilted and then I will add a background that will be used on all of the blocks. I am not sure how long this one will take, since there is no deadline but it will definitely done by spring. If you want to see what others are stitching I am linking to Kathys Quilts.
yes, cooler weather is definitely a great time to hand quilt. I have one that I will pull out about January, I think.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful feathered wreath. It is so relaxing to have a nice hand quilting project and no deadline in sight.
ReplyDeleteI found the feathered quilting design when my internet went down for a week and I pulled out my old quilting magazines................who would have thought!
DeletePerfect quilting weather! Do you like the Aunt Becky's? I can't get used to it, but I need to cause my underfinger is hurting! Thanks for linking up to Slow Sunday Stitching!
ReplyDeleteI love using the aunt becky, although it does take a lot of practice. I can't imagine quilting without it. It has really improved my stiches in that they are more regular.
