Well, I’ve made two baby quilts in the ended two months, and designed a third (someone else did the firm work of putting it together). We presented two of them yesterday, so I can in conclusion post pictures. The third will go up after May 3rd.
This is the one I designed, but didn’t bit or quilt. The intelligence given to me was “cerulean and green.” That’s it, so I had to use my own wisdom. The feeling I was going for was old flannel shirts, that firm, home-spun gaze. The block used was “Fowl in Air.” The mistress who made this one, bless her straitened little fingers, did it entirely by palm and fingers. Which for me–a in the main machine-quilter equitable barely dipping her toes in palm and fingers-quilting–is a big degree.
The quilt on the rectilinear is one very special to me, and I am so pleased how well it turned out. One of my dearest friends adopted Confidence from China. Since the appropriation process takes a while, I had sufficiency of time to manducate over the design of the quilt. Her topic was butterflies, in rose-color, purple, and pallid green. The lass is my own design, the blocks a elementary four-patch.
It also marks a meander point in my quilting adventures–I was enforced to hand-quilt the creature. I tried to propel the monster under my needy little Lily, and it looked dreadful. So I hauled out needle and slender cord. At first I was right going to do the configuration, but she turned out so definite that I continued palm and fingers-quilting on the diagonal through the purple squares. As that went so evenly, I thought I’d try doing the fillet by hand too. OMG! I have never had a band turn out so rigorous and smooth. That curved me. The next quilt I did (the one I’ll support next month) was also engine-pieced, but palm and fingers-quilted, and it too turned out beautifully.
