It was great fun and challenge that I had not tried before - plenty of starch was used!
It has been basted using some basting spray - my thoughts on that tomorrow - and sitting on my 'please quilt me pile' for a couple of months. He is now getting upset that work design/paperwork and my Swoon quilt have taken precedence over his lovely new quilt. So it was put onto my FAL Q2 list and I have decided to not leave to the last minute!
I had outlined one of the curvy towers and started to FMQ swirls and pebbles in co-ordinating thread, but I had not really thought beyond that block....
Today I have a little spare time between prep for a class tomorrow and housework so I have outlined the next curvy block with some Aurifil in a pale grey (2615) which goes well with the white and grey blocks.
I am thinking of only quilting details into the windows, but not sure!
The pieces above each curvy building block are going to be quilting with swirls and pebbles in co-ordinating thread, which means I have had to order some neon orange - I hope it matches!
I will be honest, beyond that I am not sure.... it is going to be an adventure!
What are working on? I would love to see!
Linking up with Free Motion Quilting Friday over at Free Motion Project.
What a great quilt! I would quilt some details into the windows.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I am quilting the windows densely and using a lighter meandering pattern around the windows.
DeleteI think it's great you put everything else on hold for your boy! I made all of my kids a quilt for Christmas because here I was working on all of these quilts, while my kids were always fighting over blankets. So I made it a mission to make sure each had one. Now I have to make my husband one!! you son will treasure this;)
ReplyDeleteI love making them for the boys. They treasure them and use them to build dens and play. They are so precious and become part of the children's memories.
