Suffragette city!
Just off the frame; Another big, bold and beautiful quilt from Jackie! This one is a tribute to the Suffragette movement in its vivid palette of purple, green and white, and is to be a present for her granddaughter, I believe.
It is a medallion style quilt, like Jackie's last one. They can be fun because you get to play with different designs in each 'frame'.
I often only decide what I'm going to do on a quilt like this as I start to work on it. I began by stitching in the ditch all the way down, to stabilise it.
Then I worked one frame at a time, choosing the most appropriate design for each one as I went along.
So I did a combination of flower motifs, continuous curves with swirls, hooked paisleys,
and finished up with rotating feathers in the central star block.
Last night I added the final floating border to my Treasure quilt and really must get on with placing the appliqué pieces for hand stitching.
I keep getting side tracked!
Happy Quilting Everyone - Stay safe and keep cheerful!
