Just Playin’ Around!

My friend Marty said, “I’m sending you a quilt to play on.”  It is made from half-square triangles, and a few squares.   Seriously!  Now just looking at this, you would never guess that!  Isn’t it neat?  It is 32” x 32”.

Fleur-de-lis  (Go Saints!  Sorry, I just had to throw that in!) and feathers now cover her little quilt.  (Click on pictures to get a better view of the quilting.)

It seemed to take FOR.E.VER. because I really have not done much with the custom quilting features on IQ.

I really learned a lot and found some short-cuts as I was working through this (for days and days).  I did a lot of adapting designs for the unusual areas, then chunking them and starting over.

Tomorrow it will be sent zooming back to her. 

I think she will like it.

I think I will be glad to get back to quilting pantos on customer quilt…  Playing was fun, but it was HARD WORK!  Work hard, play hard.  Such is my world!

Be blessed!

  1. Oh, My, Kat....your quilting is stunning. You have taken my very simply little quilt and made it the star of the day. I can't wait to see and touch it in 'real life'
