I have to be quick, I have lots to do by March.
Lengthened stitch, number 4 on my Bernina, walking foot, sewn in green and white variegated thread on random diagonal lines to match the colour movement of the patches: charity quilt for Portage, West Sussex. I quilted across the border too as the thread blends with the fabric, so no sewing ends in! Awaiting binding. I'll use this stitch again.
Large 'single', lots of ends to sew on this one. The picture is from the layering process at work. I will heavily free motion quilt the purple border.
Quilted with King Tutt variegated thread, hides the wobbles nicely! Not the best quilting, but this was the largest thing I have stuffed under the machine so far-by the end I had the hang of it! Like the King Tutt thread a lot, but its pricey!
The reverse thread was Guttermann variegated pink, blends nicely with the fabric and picks up the directional pattern. LOVE this backing fabric.
Now off to Leah Days site to choose a pattern for the border quilting, and cut some binding. .
