I wanted it to stay soft and cuddly, because this is a quilt to use on the couch. So I quilted it with an all-over, big scale leaf and loop design. It was hard for me to work on such a big scale and still keep the curves smooth. It's not perfect, but it stayed soft and didn't stiffen up at all! (Another first for me!) This picture makes it look more wrinkly than it really is.
Now it's just waiting for binding. I'm linking up to WIP Wednesday at Freshly Pieced- check out tons of inspiring projects!
Ang, it looks great!! Isn't is nice to have it done. You learned what you needed to from this project. Now, you are ready to take those skills and move to the next. Happpy, happy quilting. Keep on moving forward.
ReplyDeleteI am curious? Did you use a long arm. :) I am fighting quilting with my sewing machine... LOL! It is giving me fits and I am not fond of my hand sewing skills. LOL
ReplyDeleteHi, Dianna! No, I don't have a long arm. I have a Bernina 215, which I love! It's not fancy (11 stitches altogether, which is 10 more than I've used yet), but the tension is so consistent. It can be so frustrating if your machine is not cooperating! Good luck, and hang in there!
