I thought I would show you the progress I have made on two of my own quilts - it has been slow growing as I only get to do my own stuff at night or some weekends.
But ta da .... the borders are on ... now it needs quilting ... custom or edge to edge ??? I'd like to do custom, but time is lacking ... we'll see.
The other side - don't you just love how the sun shines through giving it a stained glass effect ... if only that would stay when the quilt was quilted.
Life is Beautiful ... strips sewn together
All sewn up ... I only have to put the small four patch circles in the crosshairs now ... forty something I think and I am hand appliquing them with blue thread for the blue part and white thread for the white part - as I have done for the bigger 4patch circles - looks very neat and tidy.
A close up
The back ... I still have to iron the long rows after stitching them.
So a little bit of stitching to go before I can quilt this quilt ... and it will be custom quilted - a good way for me to show customers how I like to quilt stitcheries.
Happy quilting for now ... Jane x
