A client’s quilt destined for a granddaughter. A “pinwheel” of sort with a seersucker fabric for the backing. It is a very light weight wrap. The size is 63”x 68”. The batting used is 100% cotton called “Sew Perfect” by Fairfield for Hancock Fabrics & Crafts. It turned out to be a very fragile batting…..quite thin and wispy. I quilted it using a copper colored thread by Rheingold, a 40 wt poly, and Superior’s So Fine, 50 wt poly, in the bobbin (in white). The photos tell the story……………………………
Such a simple stitching pattern but one that gives the needed movement, feel and texture to a sweet piecing.
Now, I’m off to see what other quilty mischief I can engage in! Stay tuned……………………………………………..
Love this one, especially the colors and stitching design… you are so so talented!
For me, such activity is like skipping through a beautiful park on a sunny day……pure joy!!! Thank you for your kind words, Dear…..hugs………………….
I really like the pinwheel pattern on the white fabric. So simple and pretty
I agree. It’s traditional without being ‘dated’ so it really works for a younger recipient!!!
i like the circles they do give the pinwheels movement. It would be a fun design to do.
I so agree. A little bit different. I thought the color combo was awesome…..really beginning to love the orange/blue thing!!!
interesting pattern – always good to see a new variation on a traditional
It’s a perfect size and weight for a young person!!!
Wonderful circles. Is that just practice, or do you mark any type of pattern to follow?
No marking….it’s really quite a flexible pattern to stitch, as the circles can vary in size/position depending on the area to be filled. Extra “echo” stitches are added if I need to make the next swirl circle in another area. This type of stitching is quite relaxing after I get into the “rhythm” of the pattern. Thanks for your wonderful comments and questions!! Hugs…………
Goodness girl, you’re always getting into mischief, aren’t you? But the good sort. Another quilt that makes me (visually) happy in this long and dreary winter.
You got it!!!!! Hugs…………..
It turned out really fabulous. Nicely done.
Thanks, Friend!!!! Hugs and have a fab weekend!!!!!
I love the pattern you gave it! It may be simple but it is lovely and impressive. Love, love, love!!!
And this is why quilting is so addicting!!!!!!
