A detail of flower and quilting on my sample/practice project...
Below are all the printed nasturtium images for the Challenge Quilt, now affixed to Pellon Wonder-Under (Misty-Fuse can also be used) for easy transfer to the selected base/background material.
I've selected the fabric below for the back of the quilt.
With 505 Basting Spray on the Warm & Natural cotton batting, both the backing material and the background for the flower fabrics are temporarily adhered. This makes quilting so much easier - no pins to avoid, no hoop to work within, just the sandwiched stretched somewhat tautly as I quilt.
Below, the first stitching detailing on the nasturtium flower...
The completely stitched flower and some free-motion echo-type of quilting on the background...
Some potential fabric options for the outer border (which should have been selected & attached prior to the quilting, of course!
More options for the border...
Selecting one fabric background at a time to get a better look at what the end results might be...
And another...
And another...
Favorites anyone?
The quilt to be is wonderful! I love the oranges and the energy from the colors. My favorite border is the multicolored with the splash of the orage.
ReplyDeleteI just love what you are doing and am really interested in the step by step process. You make it easy to follow along.
ReplyDeleteI really like the brown fabric!
Hi, Paper-Person! Love your blog - might you also play with beading, flowers and little boys???
ReplyDeleteAmazing! I've always loved your quilts and your process. And you know me, I usually give my opinion if asked. So, I like the last option best. That's just me, non-quilter quilter lover :)
