Sneak Peek - Glide quilt - UPDATE new pic

[Guest Linda S]

I'm about done with the motifs on the quilt I'm doing for Fil-Tec. Now it's on to all the background fill that will need to be done. This quilt is faux trapunto -- I simply did not have time to trim batting -- so I'm going to have to fill with different colored thread. I haven't decided yet just how wild I want to get (I'm not a wild thread gal). I'm already not happy with my thread choice (light gold), but I have to say the tension is bitchin' -- not a loop, pokie, or eyelash anywhere in the quilt. Just pray it's passable when finished!

WOw! You go girl. Looking great! Want to see it finished for SURE!!!!

[Kueser]

Of course you need to fill in with thread. Look who you're making this for

[Quilting Heidi]

Linda I'm sure you will like it once you get it off the frame. I never like it when the thread is different from the background but once it is off the frame I love it.

Can't wait to see the finished quilt, Linda. I know it will be gorgeous!

[KDquilter]

That is gonna be beautiful!!! Please remember to post pics when finished so we have some eye candy!!!

[JustSewSimple]

Great Day! What beautiful motifs and what beautiful stitching! Can't wait to see more!

[PattyJo]

Your amazing Linda. Lookin' good as far as I can tell. What thread are you thinking of for the background? And how big is the quilt? Inquiring minds and all that!

[meg_marsh]

Looking great so far - look forward to the finished product!

You have great control following your stencil markings. Wow. It is going to be beautiful when you are done.

[Guest Linda S]

Kristina - I used to use an oval template in my hand all the time to help me go around curves. Don't need it anymore with the M&M Wheels. I am amazed at how much they have improved my quilting.

Pat - the quilt is 60" x 60". It will be all Glide thread. I was going to just use gold and white, but I'm not sure now. I wish I had outlined everything in white and then gone for a more colorful fill. Most of the faux trapunto areas have enough fluff to pop them out regardless of color, except for the little swirls in the borders. I wasn't planning ahead properly!

[LauraJ]

It's lookin' really good so far Linda. Can't wait to see the finished quilt. Probably lots of oooh and aahs coming your way!

[witha'K'quilting]

I have the mm wheels and am struggling going around applique and following stencils with then. I thought I noticed a difference when I first got them...but now...they feel similar to the er wheels I had. I cleaned them and that didn't help either. Glad they are working for you. You do beautiful work.

[Janette]

That looks great so far Linda, I wish I could follow the drawn line that accurately. Lots of practice needed for me !!!

[quiltmonkey]

Linda I hope you give us "in progress update" photos as you come along.

[Butterfly]

Linda,

It's going to be a beauty, I can tell. I'm looking forward to seeing it all done.

[Sharond]

Wow! That is going to be so cool. Can't wait to see the finished quilt.

[Guest Linda S]

Oh CRAP! (Sorry). I'm all done except the fill in stuff and I'm terrified of messing it up with colored thread. ACKKKKK. I think I may need one of these!

Anyway, here it is before I either pretty it up or trash it.

[suzanp]

I 'll take one of those so you can't mess up, going to be super beautiful, can't wait to see "all done"
