quilterkp Posted November 24, 2017 Report Share Posted November 24, 2017 Is that all freehand? Your petals are so perfect! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marie0722 Posted November 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2017 Aw, thank you Yes, that's all freehand. The quilt was huge... lots of petals to build some serious muscle memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mlsa3 Posted December 9, 2017 Report Share Posted December 9, 2017 Oh my goodness....how pretty that is! Two questions: 1. How long did it take to quilt all of those tiny flowers? 2. Did your eyes ever cross while quilting them? LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marie0722 Posted December 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2017 It took me sixteen hours to finish the quilt. I am not very patient and get bored by pantographs quickly but I loved doing the flowers. I was in some kind of zone and just kept doing them... no crossed eyes there Just the constant starts and stops were a little annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clgtennis Posted December 31, 2017 Report Share Posted December 31, 2017 The quilt and quilting are absolutely beautiful! One of the best quilting ideas I've seen for that quilt design. Great job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EHonour Posted January 3, 2018 Report Share Posted January 3, 2018 Yes, they definitely look like flowers! Very nice, and it just flows all over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anneinoz Posted January 5, 2018 Report Share Posted January 5, 2018 Beatrice, You and the piecer have created a really beautiful quilt. I am in awe! Am I correct in thinking that every flower is quilting in its own color? Did you just choose say 12 different colors and use those? Really would like to know.

Marie0722 Posted January 5, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2018 No, Anne, that is all the same thread. All those starts and stops were bad enough... changing threads all the time would probably have killed me I use Glide thread, and this is a light green. Probably Willow, maybe Celery, I don't remember exactly. It worked well with the background, and I thought it looked better than the usual neutral colours, and she liked it too, so we went with green.
