Quilting Update / Berries and Blossoms Quilt

November 07, 2016 2 Comments

Quilting Berries and Blossoms Quilt ! I have used YLI 100 weight silk thread on the top and Wonderfil Invisifil in the bobbin. A nice combination.

For some reason I always make smaller quilting shapes then I intend to, I really have to concentrate to get nice large shapes. I am filling in with circles, as there are so many applique circles in this quilt. Feathers are my favorite, so I have added them in randomly around the applique. I also have ideas of quilting a few birds in the border, but it's early days at this stage so will see how it looks when I get to the border. The quilting on this quilt is similar to the quilting on my Blackberry Ramble Table Runner

Take a look at the quilting.

My quilting update so far. I try to stay away from marking pens as much as I can.

Happy Stitching
