This week I am proud to report that I got my Amy Butler Love quilt all quilted. Feathers and Swirls and Swirls and Feathers all done. I used aqua blue thread for my feathers and lime green for the swirls, I did this because the quilt is for me and I wanted to see all the pretty stitches. I love this quilt from the back as much as from the front- the square in square pattern created by the quilting on the back is really fun. Now all I have to do is bind it and I can start enjoying it in my living room. I don't typically keep the quilts I make so this one felt like a luxury from the start. It took up all my free time this week so that is all the progress I have to report. As for next week I have already pulled fabric for a quilty gift for my mom's birthday on the 25th. She has been requesting some new pillows for her new house, but I am committed to doing what inspires me- so we will just have to see what I come up with.

DeleteYou have done a lovey job on the quilt. Looks fantastic with all the heavy quilting. I also am impressed at the rows of spools in your blog header. My what a lot of spools you have!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your kind words. I am a lucky girl- my BF scored all that thread (hundreds of spools) from a drape maker who was going out of business- and then built me the thread wall as a back drop for all my pictures- very lucky indeed.
DeleteFabulous quilting, it looks wonderful. Love the Amy Butler paired with grey.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
