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.
ReplyDeleteLove the quilting. Looks great. So over those word verification thingies. Hugs,xx
ReplyDeleteI 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!
ReplyDeleteSnuggly, cuddly...and sweet!
ReplyDeleteThe 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.
ReplyDeletewow 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
ReplyDeleteCharming 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.
ReplyDeleteLooks 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.
ReplyDeleteThat's a lovely quilting design. Perfect for the fabric and cuddliness.
ReplyDeleteAs always stunning quilting...you really are very talented..
ReplyDeleteJust gorgeous , your quilting is amazing !
ReplyDeleteSo 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!
ReplyDeleteIt never ceases to amaze me at what you accomplish with your machine, it's lovely. Happy binding
ReplyDeletegorgeous! love the quilting you have done on the quilt.

ReplyDeleteFabulous quilting..a quilt to treasure..and I am with you on the word verification thing..too hard to work out what they are
ReplyDeleteGorgeous Fiona, and such beautiful quilting
ReplyDeleteLovely soft quilting...
ReplyDeletePretty quilting for a lovely quilt.
ReplyDeleteLucky 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.
ReplyDeleteIt's lovely Fiona...would love to be able to quilt like that!
ReplyDeleteDo you free hand the quilting stitch? Or what/how do you do it? Word verification sucks!
ReplyDeleteYour quilt looks wonderful, Fiona.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work, Fiona. Great choice of quilting for these lovely fabrics.
ReplyDeleteGood 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
