I just finished a customer's wedding quilt. not her wedding....a quilt for a friend of hers who is getting married. she wanted it all white.
She pieced large blocks of 2 different white on white fabrics. i don't much care to quilt the white on white fabrics...it makes 'dust' and crud all over the machine and you are cleaning the bobbin area a lot. and it usually gives you tension isses, too. of which i had a few.
My customer designed the elements of the quilt. inside the star was freehand leave feathers.
In the triangle and corner block areas are flowers from a panto.
Border got swags and beadboard. corners were made with ovals.
She copied part of a panto and added leaves and such to it. pretty slick trick. we made it the same size as the block and i just used her drawing like a panto.
It seems to me the border stands out more than the star. i used a different color thread for the star than the rest of the quilt...a couple shades lighter.
Muslin for the back. Glide thread on the top and Bottom Line in the bobbin. it is 86" square.
Glad to be done with this. quilting white on white is almost as bad as black on black.
To finish up the month....i have 2 of my challenge quilts and one more for Kay...just need to add a border to it yet. i better get busy...before it gets much
