I meant to do more quilting on this....but I have a friend coming tomorrow to quilt one of hers....and this had to come off the machine today. It is 68x89. It is all wool...hand applique...i finished putting it together in March of this year.
As you know by now...i take crappy pics...hahaha hopefully, you can see some quilting.
I did SID around the applique...then added a bit more to the blocks here and there in larger unquilted areas.
When I do the applique, I just eyeball the placement of things. I probably need to start measuring, because the quilting doesn't turn out symmetrical with eyeballing. haha
The sashings are gray, but the camera washes them out. As I was quilting, I found the pink tip of one flower unstitched....so i just quilted over it.
One side of one of these leaves was unstitched, also. i guess i got distracted.
I got really, really tired of picking things off that black background.
I used Glide light olive thread on the top because my eyes are so bad that I cannot use black thread on black fabric and see it at all.
The back is a white muslin. I outlined the blocks and borders with a variegated green from Signature, but then decided I didn't want to use it for the rest of it, so I switched to Bottom Line Tan for the rest.
The border was done with my boards.
I believe I shall keep this one.
