But I did manage to finish up a binding between trips and have been able to squeeze in a little bit of sewing this week!
Quilting is done on this one and am I happy about that! The zig zag quilting was the perfect choice, but it is a slow and tedious way to quilt. Jeez...
My straight lines are far from perfect and I did learn a little lesson on this one. The slower you go, the straighter the lines.
I made 3 big blocks to stretch out a piece that I wanted to use for the backing. I think they turned out pretty cool!
And this gray fabric with the arrows turned out to be a great binding choice!
While I was taking photos, I had to stop and smell the roses Korean Spice Viburnum. This lovely shrub has the most beautiful scent that fills the whole yard. How I wish it would last all Summer!
Ahhh... Spring - there's nothing like it!

ReplyDeleteVery nice quilt and love the pattern....just feels like movement happening. I wish we could smell that bush as it looks beautiful and springy!
ReplyDeleteI love this quilt so much......your color choices and the quilting = perfection! Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteYou did a lovely job with your straight-line quilting. It suits this piece. Wish I could smell that bush because I've heard, and read in books, that the scent is great. I'm a huge fan of lilacs for the same reason - big sniffs.
ReplyDeleteI love this quilt design and the quilting enhances it nicely. I really like the look of straight line quilting, but I agree that it takes forever.
