Chilhowie is quilted! I do think this one needs a label so I'll be setting it aside until the next time I do a batch of labels, and then I'll finish binding it. The backing I ordered turned out to be perfect, so I'm glad I took a chance on it.
I'm quite pleased with how this one turned out.
I quilted this quilt primarily with Christy Dillon's Orange Blossom set, but the original plan done entirely with these blocks felt like too many of the same flowers so I substituted in the alternate blocks with Donna Kleinke's Lady of the Lake 2 Block 1.
As usual, I used Quilters Dream Green batting and MaxiLock thread in the Lauren color. I had intended to use Glide thread, but I just didn't find a color I liked among my supply.

ReplyDeleteThanks Lin. I hope you had a good holiday.
DeleteWOW!!! That is amazing - the quilt is awesome - but your quilting - WOW!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks! The long arm with computer makes it reasonably easy. It's the planning that tends to take up the most time. I spent 2 days planning the design and then a day stitching it. LOL
DeleteBeautiful!! The quilting suits the top perfectly.
