| Love the back of this quilt |
When attaching the binding, I remembered...apart from some design and technical issues, this quilt was bearding like there was no tomorrow. Not entirely sure why...maybe the backing was too low in quality...not really sure. Overall though, a really nice effort. I started this late 2013 and finished the quilt top in the beginning of 2014 when I had gone through all of Patsy Thomson's Freemotion Quilting Fun with Feathers DVD's, applying the things that I had learnt and trying out some pretty specky in-lining of the feathers. I then microstippled the surrounds. Can you believe it! I think I chose microstippling as I was not really confident to do anything else at that stage. Now I would put some gridwork in the background, I think. This really shows the continuous learning that occurs with FMQ.
Very happy with the outcome.
This is the first finish for the FAL2016. My original goal list is HERE

Dear Karin,
ReplyDeleteA wonderful Wholecloth! I think I love the back more than the front. ;) looks amazing!
Greetings, Rike
Really beautiful wholecloth indeed!! I prefer the backing too! Love that delicate stitching and the back shows the thin lines more. I must try something like that too.Thamks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful Karin! Yes I love the back too. Sometime It's the better side :)
ReplyDeleteReally beautiful finish Karin. It's amazing what you find in the Christmas decorations!! The FMQ curve is certainly continuous and it is amazing to follow our journey.
