I'm working on a wedding present for an architect. I decided it had to be graphic, so I choose the pattern "Wheel or Mystery" and used lots of blues, oranges, yellows and a little pink and purple. The top turned out great. The next step was to quilt it..... I must have been nuts when I decided to do "pepples" all over . It is taking about 4 to 5 hours per row ! The blocks are 12" squares. There are 8 rows of 8.... To make matters worse, I'm using Rainbows thread and it keeps breaking. I'm happy to say, however, that I have only 3.5 more blocks to go !... I am in a holding pattern because I ran out of thread yesterday. I can't wait to get it finished. I'll post pictures as soon as I have it off my frame.
I'm thinking I should have invested in a circle lord and used the spirals. It would have been so much easier and quicker !

I love your blog layout! I can't imagine doing pebbles in an area that large, but can't wait to see a photo.
ReplyDeleteRuthie, Thanks for the nice note. I was hoping to have the quilt finished in time to take it to our guild's retreat this weekend. Turns out the thread I ordered to complete the last 3.5 blocks, won't arrive until Friday. Dang, I really wanted to have this one finished ! I'll post pictures when it's done.
ReplyDeleteThe quilting is finished ! All that's left is the binding and the label. I've posted pics. Whew, glad this one's done.
