Wallhanging finished

Almost forgot to post pictures of Barbara's
wall hanging.
 
 
She made this for her daughter and it goes with
the big green star quilt.
 
.
 
Her daughter picked out the border fabric and
Barbara picked out all of the other fabrics.
 
 
Glide thread in Prickle Pear.
 
 
Two layers of Hobbs 80/20.
 
I wasn't going to do a lot of heavy quilting since this is a wall hanging,
but look...
before background fill
 
 
I took this off the frame, but didn't really like that puffy
hourglass shape.
Soooo...I put it back on the frame and look at the difference a
little background fill makes, not micro, but just a little
 
 
Much better, see the difference.
 
 
All freehand on my Millie.
 
Have a good weekend, I'll be headed to AQS in Chattanooga.

A finish and a new one started

Finished the "Which Witch's Boot"
 
 
 The quilt maker said do what you want.
 
 
So I had fun.
 
 
SoFine black on the borders and white every where else.
 
 
Two layers batting, Hobbs 80/20 and cotton.
 
 
Started on a signature wedding quilt.
 
 
She asked that there be no quilting on the signatures.
Tried to explain they would be puffy. 
Don't really know if I like the signature block like this,
 might have to come up something.
 
The bride had everyone sign a block at the wedding, then I pieced the top.
Some guest didn't understand not to write pass the blue line
(I marked each block for the seam allowance)
 
 
Have a nice week.
