Another split 9 lap quilt is quilted. This one is a joint project.
Several members of my church quilt group pieced the blocks. I pieced
them together and quilted the top. Another member plans to add the
binding when I can get it to her but there is no rush.
I
quilted a swirl over the center and used a Laura Fritz motif in the
border.
I
pulled a small UFO and I'm finishing it as a wall-hanging or table
topper. It was planned to be donated for the small quilt auction of a guild quilt show that is not happening this year so I can take more time. The bright Whig Rose was hand appliqued about 2009. I
decided to add trapunto under the flowers.
It
will show up more when the background is quilted.
I got inspired by
this example from Patsy Thompson.
In her Bluprint class “Ultimate
Free-motion Feathers” she teaches
a variation of the motif she calls “plumify it”. I am practicing on paper; however, I'm not yet comfortable enough to
try on the small quilt. If I can get comfortable with it, I would
like to use the motif as a background filler on the large border of
my blue and white UFO. The border is the only part not yet quilted.
I better get busy practicing.
I'm linking up with
“Finished or Not Friday”.
Please
stay safe and healthy while doing something you enjoy or to help
others.
What a wonderful variety of projects! I've never tried trapunto - guess I need to make a nice applique project first!
