Pepa knew exactly what she wanted on this quilt. Boy would I love to take credit for coming up with these quilting ideas ---but alas, no can do. Pepa is proof positive that you absolutly can complete your quilt from start to finish. (It's an urban legand that you actually have to stuff that Queen size quilt under your Bernina and struggle, spit and curse till it's quilted, just to say "Yep, did it all myself". As I've said many times, part of being a great quilter, is knowing who to call to finish it. Enjoy!
There were three thread color changes - Pepa wanted the thread to blend everywhere:
The brown sashing had a matching thread color and a seperate flower and vine design; the green stripe got curlique's; the star blocks were treated with a flower design in the middle (picked up again in the border). The background of the star blocks were stippled; the cornerstones each had a teeny tiny daisy in each of the brown patches. The Bears had to place those!!!
Another thread change for the border and we're almost done!
Beautiful quilt and beautiful piecing! I love that curly Q in the middle of the sashing and little daisies in the cornerstones! Inspired!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great example of what different colored thread can do. Nice collaboration! Beautiful quilt and lovely quilting.
