chrisquilter Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 Superior So fine thread in five differrent colors. Hobbs wool batting. This is a really pretty customer quilt. I love the colors. I decided to break the inner blue border so it looks like the bargello moves through the border. I stitched in the ditch around the darkest color in each color combination in order to accent the movement through the quilt. I was not sure what to do with the outer border, so a variation of piano keys is what happened. I did not want to have any feathering on this quilt. Lots of feathers on other bargellos I have finished and I did not think this one need feathers. Thanks for looking And thanks to Jamie Wallen for the idea of photographing with a side light. There is a window at the end of my quilting machine that provides just the amount of side light to get some good texture. And yes, there is a bunch of "stuff" at the end of my machine in one of the pictures. I'm planning on cleaning that up today!

CrazyAboutQuilting Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 Chris that turned out beautiful! Love the different designs that you did in the separate colorways...........your pebbles look GREAT in between the rows of swirls. The sideways photos really show off the texture...what a great idea!
