So the Hello World blocks have been quilted....
the fabrics are delicious so I did a gentle all over design ..... it's hard to do large bold designs on the domestic machine but I didn't want to do something too tight .... these loops are about the largest I can successfully manoevre my hands to keep the curves curvey.....
... it's a bit like a swirl with a single feather....
I found this video tutorial by APQS which helped me learn this one HERE
(though my curves are not so curvy! - story of my life!)
... stitch in the ditch around the narrow green border...
and a soft feathery edge around the border.....
It's quite a loose design... the quilt is soft and cuddly .. will be lovely for a young someone to wrap themselves in....
(An elder sister needs a big bed quilt)
I wanted it to have the quilted feel and crinkle look but not take anything from the fabrics
ON ANOTHER MATTER
word verification has been playing tricks ....
... how on earth are you supposed to get these... I don't think robots or non robots can do them
Righto, Gotto Go... you know what I need to be doing now.....

That's really cute! It will be snuggly, because the amount of quilting is Just Right.
Love the quilting. Looks great. So over those word verification thingies. Hugs,xx
I love how the quilting looks on those fabrics, just the right touch to enhance the designs. I know, some are like blurs but I learned if you tilt your head to one side, you can see them better, lol.

Don't you just love quilts after washing and the vintage look that they develop? Your quilting is lovely!
Snuggly, cuddly...and sweet!
The new owner will LoVe it! Wonderful quilting on it too. :)
This is lovely Fiona, I'm sure it will be well loved. That hook feather is a handy design to know - thanks for the link.
wow Fiona you are always amazing me my friend,its looking awesome,you are so clever,yes word verification has been very tricky of late,enjoy your day my friend,xx
Charming little darling is what comes to my mind when I look at your quilt. I did some machine quilting, as you know, and I have a whole lot more appreciation for your work!! I've always found your work so elegant consistent. Now I am simply bowled over! You make it look so easy. Love you for that.
Looks beautiful! Thanks for that link, I have not come across a meander like that before. The feather in the border is gorgeous. I wish I could master that one.
That's a lovely quilting design. Perfect for the fabric and cuddliness.
As always stunning quilting...you really are very talented..
Just gorgeous , your quilting is amazing !
So agree about the word verification, I had about 2 second to see the numbers on one recently, it was impossible, so I didnt comment in the end. Love your quilting!
It never ceases to amaze me at what you accomplish with your machine, it's lovely. Happy binding
gorgeous! love the quilting you have done on the quilt.
well done.
more amazing quilting...
Fabulous quilting..a quilt to treasure..and I am with you on the word verification thing..too hard to work out what they are
Gorgeous Fiona, and such beautiful quilting
Lovely soft quilting...
Pretty quilting for a lovely quilt.
Lucky little person.
Gorgeous quilting, love those beautiful curves. I found word verification frustrating as I thought it was just me who couldn't see the words - nice to know it not just me.
It's lovely Fiona...would love to be able to quilt like that!
Do you free hand the quilting stitch? Or what/how do you do it? Word verification sucks!
Your quilt looks wonderful, Fiona.
Beautiful work, Fiona. Great choice of quilting for these lovely fabrics.
Good luck with finishing the bindings.
Apologies for the late comment - computer hiccups again.
I love seeing the photos of the backs of quilts to see the quilting designs
