Remember this cot quilt I made out of home made 2.5" strips from my stash?
Well I finally got it quilted. I used a variegated thread in blue/yellow and stippled it all over. I find stippling is the easiest free motion quilting pattern for me. I have practised other patterns, but keep coming back to stipple because it generally melts into the background so you can focus on the colours and pattern.
I found a nice blue in my stash to bind it in. I am all out of orange. Pity it is definitely one of my new favourite colours!
The best bit is the snuggly flannel backing I found in my stash with diggers on it, and the colours even match!
Happy quilting Sue.
It's a super cute quilt!
ReplyDeletePerfect backing fabric, Sue! And I love orange, too. : )
ReplyDeleteA really great finish. I, too, like the way stippling gives texture without calling attention to itself. Many times I think that is all a quilt needs.
The blue and orange friendship Stars are so delighrfully happy. Some little boy is going to love that quilt with all those Diggers on the back. It's a Wonderful finish.
