All my preparation translated into fairly fast sewing. Of course the rows have to be assembled, layers sandwiched, and then the dreaded machine quilting tackled....
BUT....ONE STEP at a time helps to make it an enjoyable experience...oh except for the machine quilting part. This piece got bigger than I originally planned.....about 65" x 75", so I know I'll be struggling on my home sewing machine. (Character building!!)
The way you arranged the colours and added the insert strips is so effective. I sympathize with you around quilting in a home machined, so perhaps you can think about the lovely colours while you (move/fight?) this beautiful quilt through the machine.
ReplyDeleteNot bad for just puttering around . . . ;-)
ReplyDeleteSeriously, this is great! Love the mix of bright rich colors and the way the mini-strips show such variety. Yeah, I wouldn't look forward to quilting that either!
Turned out great!Don't envy you the home machine quilting but the quilt recipients will be sooooo very lucky to get this.
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting all the photos of your process. It is a beautiful quilt and your method makes it much more predictable. I will be stealing this tip.

Oh Denny.....you definitely do not need construction process tips from me......you are mastering every patchwork quilt you've tackled!!
