Finally finished a customer quilt that has been on the machine way too long. i procrastinated on it something awful. it just seems too hot...even to come to the studio and quilt....and i have the a/c on.
This customer is a great piecer and her tops always are square and flat. although i could have used another 3 or 4 inches on the width of the backing when i turned it to do the borders...i made it work.
This is our quilting class project from a year or two ago. i've quilted 3 or 4 of them already.
The applique is beautiful...she requested the crosshatching in the background.
Pumpkin seeds in the middle of the stars and across and over the squares. elongated swirls let me travel the whole row without ending the thread.
9 patch stars with x's and SID...swirl background
Church with 3D steeple and doorway. used ruler for roof.
Swirls in the 'leaves' of the tree.
More applique with crosshatching. the red berries are 3D
School house with chicken wire roof.
3D flying geese. putting a triangle in the base allowed me to travel all the way down the row in one pass.
4 patches and cathederal windows got pumpkin seed treatment and some pebbles in the background.
Wedding ring ovals with more pumpkin seeds and SID.
Cable in border done with my Quiltazoid boards.
It took longer than expected but i think she will be happy with it. 2 more cutomer quilts then it is all me for the rest of the year. i'll accept more customer quilts....
Later
