I love how it turned out! |
Following the advice of other bloggers that have done the spiral quilting, I started the center with a drawn spiral (I used a disappearing marker) and my free motion foot. Once I was out from the center about 5 or 6 inches I switched to the even feed/walking foot. And for those thinking of doing the spiral quilting, there is a right way and a wrong way for the spiral to go! Go read about it here.
Here's the backing and close up of the binding:
Lots of paisleys! |
I can't wait to give it to my sister for her (belated) birthday present, but first it is going to the State Fair for a month. I've already started on the next quilt, and will post about it when I get a chance!
**Update** This quilt won 1st Place for it's category!
Just beautiful! I can't believe how gorgeous the gray color comes out with the other fabrics. Your sister should be very, very pleased with such a beautiful gift to put on her bed.
ReplyDeleteWow, this quilt is amazing. I love the gray, and the paisley back. I'm amazed that you were able to quilt the spiral with a 9 inch throat. Congrats on a beautiful finish.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt, lovely colours and great quilting. Congratulations on winning first prize.
