Same style as the first, different colors. Plus, I worked with both satin (not as hard as I thought) and metallic thread (never again).
This is for a friend who just got married; her colors were blue and silver (hence the metallic thread for the finishing. I did use grey for the normal sewing) and they are obsessed with Scouts, who apparently share with the Blessed Mother the Fleur de Lis emblem. Who knew?
I had big plans to quilt two wedding rings in the middle, but, um, circles are hard?
Thus, swirly crazys instead. :)
Also, the satin backing is actually leftover bridesmaid dress fabric. However, it didn't quite fit so I had to improvise some squares (rectangles?) to make it wide enough.
I'll be honest - I'm glad its over. Its time to do a different sort of quilt. I just need an occasion!
See those blocks on the back you did ~ that essentially the wickedly easy quilt! You can think of an occasion, I know you can :)
ReplyDeleteps ~ good job!
ReplyDeleteaww, thanks! :) ps. those blocks on block? totally uneven :-p i am SO bad at measuring out strips and then sewing them evenly.
ReplyDeletei might try precut charm squares next time, we'll see.
Nice quilt!! LOVE it and love the colors and the fleur de lis...everything about it.
