Too Much Fun!
This is officially my favourite way to quilt - free flowing, continuous lines.
Val's lovely fresh aqua and yellow quilt was beckoning today, so I braved the heat in the loft. It actually wasn't too bad. I've used this feathered swirl design on a couple of Val's quilts already, but it seems (to me) to really suit this style of patchwork.
She kindly left me a nice wide, crisp white border to play in! I have worked out how to quilt the whole border all the way round in one continuous line -
and it really is the most fun!
Earlier in the week, I quilted this beautifully pieced antique looking top made by Margaret (one of the Rayner's Lane ladies).
It features lovely Civil War style fabrics.
This quilt demanded a bit more ruler work - Margaret showed me the original quilting design in the magazine article.
But I put my own interpretation on it -
for example, substituting ribbon candy for the cross hatching.
The texture looked lovely from the back.
Happy Quilting Everyone - Stay safe and keep cheerful!
