I’ve just noticed that it has been 2 weeks since my previous
post but then it must be exactly how long it took me to finish this last
quilt. This was a big one 86 x 86 inches
and I just had to choose the two most tedious designs in one quilt – pebbles
and small scale feathers!
I’ve also noticed that the quilters in my area prefer to
work with multi-colored or heavily printed fabric which makes the actual
quilting disappear on the quilt but then they want to show off their piecing
skills and not my quilting abilities.
The loft of the batting readily available over here is also extremely
low, so the quilting often looks non-existing.
Some of the less printed backs however show off the quilting
beautifully, like the back of this quilt.
A close up of some of the motifs on the front and I had to
unpick 17 of the feathers in the grey border due to bad tension – it was really
not a fun thing to do.
