I've finished all twenty of the flower motifs on the Spring Garden Trellis quilt. Hurrah! However, before any champagne corks are popped, it is worth remembering that I have twelve circles to quilt in the bits between the flowers, and then have to work out how to quilt the borders...
That's bluddy lovely you know, quite lovely!

Can I make a suggestion? Don't do circles. Circles is HARD! It is a shape the brain knows so well that if you go offline even a smidgeon then it will look really wonky (hearts are similarly difficult, ask me how I know this!!) Consider a smaller 'flower' shape which compliments the bigger shape you've already done.
Woohoo. That's looking great. I bet you're thrilled to have got to this point with it. Your quilting makes me feel totally inadequate - I struggle to machine quilt straight lines, let alone doing things like circles and flowers!
ReplyDeleteIt's looking good Hazel, I bet you can't wait to finish it now!
ReplyDeleteYou are doing wonderful work on your quilt. I think you came up with a neat quilt design that works well with this quilt top. I can't wait to see it with the binding on.
ReplyDeleteDarn, Bilbo - see next post! I'm going to take your idea of smaller flowers for the corners, though, much better than the circles that I had in mind!
ReplyDeleteYou're very kind, Sue, thank you. :)
I feel that I'm on the home straight now, Ali - the quilting seems to have taken forever and a day!
I can't wait, either, Joanna - maybe I'll get quicker with practise!
