what my Monday morning looked like


I've been quilting ... again!
Is it perfect? No 🙃. Is it done yet? Not quite 😂.







Today I'm quilting my 'pinwheels & stars' quilt, {see here for early details}. Unlike the quilt in my last post, this time around I'm spending a lot more time on the machine quilting, doing lots & lots of straight organic lines. {Just channeling my inner Jolene from blue elephant stitches with the quilting!} I didn’t realise it would be like a full-on workout though😂, but I'm getting close to finishing now. 

I used a selection of fabrics with a vintage inspired whisper palette in pink, mustard & blues, with little accents of raspberry.  The background is a selection of different whites, all of which give a tiny bit of movement and bit of a make-do look to the quilt.

I’ll save the glamour pics for when the binding is on! 
{wink wink} ... if I only wrote about finished quilts, I’d only get to post about 2 or 3 times a year! 
Have a happy week!

    That looks great Linda! I have a stash of tops and backings waiting to be basted and quilted, but it's my last favourite quilting activity! Happy Monday!

    Scattered Petals is beautiful and I agree about not having every quilt heavy with quilting lines. Sometimes that gets overdone. Meanwhile, it's always awesome to get projects finished up. Happy Stitching from me!

    Beautiful! I have yet to machine quilt a full-sized quilt, so my hat goes off to you. Full-on workout indeed!
