ffq-lar Posted July 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2012 This one is stuffed. Each berry, most flowers, and other motifs were partially appliqued and then stuffed will filler and finished. It was an adventure to quilt up next to all the puffiness. Wool batting added to the drama. Here is a side-view of a block--it's even more puffy than this shows. Twelve pre-wound BL bobbins used and So Fine on top. Thanks for looking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CiCi Never fear, CiCi! You will get better and better and better! Every quilt you work on is a lesson learned. Those experiences add up and with practice to control the machine and make it do what you see in your head--it's a joyful thing! As I started years ago, perhaps my third customer quilt turned out really OK. I hung it for presentation and cried--because I realized I could do this!
