The blooming 9 patch is quilted and bound. For the first time in a very long time, I did only a minimum of quilting on this quilt--after the Evening Serenade with 5 pounds of thread, guess you can understand why! The pattern is very busy and it would not be seen anyway, so I decided to just use straight lines to create a trellis around the center. In the center ---the light area--- I drew and quilted a fleur-de-lis type design. So here's the Blooming Trellis. I tried to get a good photo of the quilted center but my camera went on the fritz, and I was lucky I think to get this one. Maybe new camera time, or at least new battery!
Anyway, current UFOs are done. I am feeling the need for some simple sewing and more play time on the design wall. Probably I will try a colorwash project I have had on my mind. Let me put together a couple of strip sets and see how it goes before I share anymore.
Have a great weekend and happy stitching.
It's beautiful! Your fabric selection worked out great. I love colorwash. I want to get out my box of 2.5" squares and play with another colorwash but I have to quilt some things first. My current UFO's definitely aren't done. Congratulations for sticking to it and getting yours done.
ReplyDeleteDebbie, it turned out just lovely! I like your idea of the grid being a kind of trellis. Very nice!
