quiltjunkie Posted July 27, 2007 Report Share Posted July 27, 2007 Here are pictures of a quilt I just (finally) finished...I must give credit to Marilyn Badger and Myrna Ficken for for the inspiration to be able to quilt this, for without all there fabulous quilting I don't think I would have ever known what to put on this..and to Nic Webb for giving me the "I Can Do It" attitude.

ramona-quilter Posted July 27, 2007 Report Share Posted July 27, 2007 Hester, this is a stunner. I love the freemotion outside the circle. It is fabulous. Is that microstipple inthe pale green inside the circle? It gives a lot of depth to the star. What threads and colors did you use? Is this quit yours or for a customer?

quiltjunkie Posted July 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2007 Thank you all for the compliments. I negelected to say this was a customers quilts and believe it or not, it's going on a bed not a wall. I was excited when I saw it and scared when I got around to quilting it.:mad: Linda that is micro stipple in the green area and I used Botton Line in that section and King Tut everywhere else on the quilt. Once again I must give credit to Marilyn and Myrna for the freehand inspiration. And thanks to the post about the batik tension problems as the backing was a batik and it was very hard to keep a consistent tension with the different types of quilting, had the flashlight at hand thru the entire project.

tsurich Posted July 27, 2007 Report Share Posted July 27, 2007 Hester, Thanks so much for sharing your great quilting. Batiks are not a natural for me so to get to see what someone else has done teaches me. Also freehand is a push for me too so your freehand is another learning moment.

DB Posted July 27, 2007 Report Share Posted July 27, 2007 Hester, This quilt is BEAUTIFUL! I love your quilting. Your should put a sleeve on it and tell the owners that it needs to go on a wall. Please tell me that they don't have dogs that are going to lay all over it. I love the quilting that you did on the blue/green section, it really works well with the fabric. Linda I don't know how you could see the microstippling, even with my bi-focal lenses I had to strain to see it. DB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
