My future SIL picked both the pattern and the fabric (sounds so simple doesn’t it, but it wasn’t) and I have been busily trying to get it finished along with the other 12 projects that all need to be finished by Christmas for my kids teachers and both sets of parents.
I was thrilled when I managed to get the bulk of the quilt top finished. I have been working on it a bit at a time. Firstly I didn’t have enough fabric and finding charm packs of Central Park was a little difficult. Then I had to wait for my bolt of Vanilla Emma Louise Quilters Muslin to arrive, but finally all the elements came together and now it only needs a white border all the way round and then the top is done.
Now I need to decide on the quilting pattern. I will be doing an allover panto but I am not sure if I want to do feathers, or some sort of geometrical pattern or even swirls! Don't you just hate it when you have too many choices? I am leaning more towards a swirly pattern to soften up the squares a bit. I have a little more time to decide, so I will have to sleep on it.
It's fabulous!! Very happy!
ReplyDeleteI was thinking swirls would look nice, for just that same reason! My longarm quilter often suggests that to soften the square-ness of blocks! It is looking very pretty, indeed!
ReplyDeleteIt looks lovely, Suzanne. Good luck with all your deadlines!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! I love central park and have it sitting waiting to decide what quilt it wants to be. I like the idea of swirls, or even a daisy all over panto to pick up on those flowers...??? I'm sure whatever you decide it will look great!
ReplyDeletelooks great - i use that emma louise fabric too and i love the vanilla - and a swirly panto would be great
ReplyDeletelove it! Looks really good and I think that swirly is a good choice - really nice counter balance to the design and a nod to the fabric :)
