a lovely little finish




















My auntbets quilt #2 is finished. Initially, I did some machine quilting to accentuate the horizontal lines and to stabilize the whole quilt. And then I spent some time in the evenings hand tying randomly with cream candlewicking yarn. It's ended up a very lovely, soft & cuddly quilt.
Thanks for stopping by, Linda

As I've written before - lovely colors, very restful. That sounds like a good plan to mix machine quilting stabilization with tying. Congratulations on another beautiful finish.

I love the combination of machine quilting and tying! It looks so soft. What type of batting did you use?

Lovely!

Gosh you are speedy. Wonder how machine quilting a little and hand tying would go on my Tula quilt?

It does look very cuddly and the tied look suits it very well!

Yes it’s ended up much softer than a quilt that’s been more densely quilted that’s for sure. I’m working my way through leftover batting pieces, Matilda’s cotton natural.

I love the combination of the blue florals with the pops of pink and yellow! A very sweet finish!
