The weather being too vile for words today (yes, I know, I know, we need the rain - but really!), I knuckled down to finishing quilting the inner and outer borders on Mum's Quilt. 
Well - all but a short section where I ran out of bobbin thread.
All the while I've been quilting, I've been thinking about what to put in the white triangles by the nine patch blocks - I've thought about a spray of leaves; big sister Helen suggested a tendril with a daisy growing from the sashing daisy chains.
Hmm hmm.
Then I changed my mind totally, and have done some echoing of the blocks to infill. 
But I've stopped at two, in case I have a change of heart...
wow just lovely!!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mrs P!
DeleteI like that, it gives a nice geometric counterpoint to the swirls and flowers. It definitely was a sewing day yesterday, though I'm afraid I didn't get any done!
ReplyDeleteSlightly worried about the different quilting densities, Ali - but I do like the look of it.
DeleteI think the echoing works brilliantly. As Sewali says it balances the flowers and stems.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sue. I'm thinking of stippling in the cream skinny border to finish off - but might change my mind on that yet!
DeleteSend your unpicker to me so that you can't use it! The echo quilting looks fantastic, don't even consider taking it out! Do more :}
ReplyDeleteThanks, Bilbo - showed it to mum yesterday and she said pretty much the same thing, so I'm happy now.
DeleteOh, thank Crunchy for that .....
