I've enjoyed working on this project, and it took a week's spare time. We've been on vacation with our daughter doing all kinds of things.
I took this outside to get some good light for a picture. I still have a few holes to cut on the backside to take the papers out of the appliqued flowers, and leaves. I like something to do when we are watching a movie or listening to the radio, and that will work out fine.
Here's the backside.
Boy, it's such a nice day outside! We've had a lot of grey skies lately and it's so good to see the blue skies again.
Now I'm ready to work on the pieced inner part of the quilt so I can return the book to the library.
The pattern calls for plain corner squares on the ends of the borders, but I'm thinking about jazzing it up a little. I have to remember to make it fit with the same look though. Hmmmm. I don't want it to compete with the border strips, but I don't want it plain either. What to do. I have a while to mull it over while I'm working on the other border strips.
I linked up with amylouwho's sew and tell.
WOW! This is amazing! your hard work has paid off, simple gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteYour handwork is wonderful. Such tiny stitches! If I can ask, why is the material cut from behind? Do you quilt on top of the applique?
ReplyDeleteWOWEEE! That took lots of time and talent!
ReplyDeleteWonderful:)
ReplyDeleteKristen, Thank you. The material is cut from the back to pull the freezer paper out, and also to make fewer layers to quilt through. I haven't decided how I'm going to quilt this one, but possibly in the ditch or maybe 1/4" inside the applique.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! I admire your handwork. Alas, I'm just not that dexterious. I'm envious of your talent. :o) Visiting from Sew&Tell. Thanks for sharing. :o)
