I just finished this terrific customer quilt. terrific because of her piecing skills and this pattern....not my quilting...just making that clear. hahahaha
It wasn't quite queen size....but pretty close. took me about a week. she 'just' wanted SID....ALL the seams...SID.
After a couple blocks i figured out how to travel around with one start and stop and just a few trace overs.
I used (at customer request) flat black So Fine thread...top and bottom.
Absolutely no quilting shows except in that narrow green border.
There are 7 borders....4 narrow reds, 2 blacks, and a green. she wanted some feathers...so i put those in the green. the black borders have freehand fills.
I think she paper pieced this. those are some awesome pineapple blocks.
The back was a black wide fabric. i tried to mute the color a bit to gray so the quilting might be seen....but i don't think i was very successful.
So, the main reason for this post is the awesome quilt....just pretend you can see quilting. LOL
That's 2 down and 4 to go for this month. gonna throw one of my small ones on the frame tomorrow and panto it up. then class on Monday and back to quilting on Tuesday. my sister's quilt is up next.
Hope to get all caught up in the next 2 weeks so i can go play at the Duck
