It was a top made by a friend and she has been meaning to get it quilted for 20 years! I am honored that she chose me to quilt it for her. It is her original design and she is thinking about making it a pattern. Her applique' is exquisite, and she left lots of space for me to quilt intricate designs. so here it is, all finished except the binding:
The blocks all have radiating lines and curlicues:
I am very proud of my border design, I pulled those radiating lines and the curly shapes into a border design all my own, with a few feathers...
oh and isn't that candy cane striped border fun? The braid design is a stencil.
Here are the ribbon corners too.
I used all Glide threads on this quilt (love Glide). It is Sea Foam green, a very light shade and a little pink on the candy cane stripe.
There are two layers of batting, tuscany wool on top and Mountain Mist Cream Rose cotton under the wool.
Now I have time to finish up some other projects, and I am taking them to the longarm since my shoulders are tired. I hope you enjoyed seeing this quilt. Karen
Your quilting is stunning! Wish I had a friend, who could quilt my tops. I use to hand quilt them, except my shoulder give me a lot of pain. So now they sit on the shelf waiting for one day.... Hope the pattern become a reality, it is beautiful.
