This is Delight, a WIP from last month. I decided to do FMQ loops. I used the leftover fabric to make a scrappy binding.
It was so windy, and the quilt would not stay put.
As it was dancing in the wind, I captured a photo from the back. It looks like stained glass.
I like FMQ loops! I think this will work on one of the other tops sitting in the pile. Hoping to find the time this weekend for another finish.
Here's a glimpse of the back.
This quilt does not have a home yet, but I'm so pleased with the quilting, I'm tempted to keep it for myself.

I have swirly-loop envy! I tried this very FMQ pattern with a quilt top recently, but my loops weren't nearly as big and buoyant as yours so I wimped out and straight-line quilted instead. When quilting a top with an all-over FMQ pattern like that, how do you approach the task? Do you start in one corner and go wherever the pattern takes you? Do you take a certain chunk of the top and focus on that before moving on? Thanks in advance for your insight!
ReplyDeleteYour loopy quilt pattern is great! I can never get my balance between loop number and size and the meandering part of the pattern right, yours looks wonderful.
ReplyDeleteLove, love the quilt! The colors are beautiful and your piecing is fantastic. You do seem to have a knack with the loopy swirls or is it swirly loops? you know what I mean.
ReplyDeleteI love loops (or loop-dee-doo's as I call them. Lol)! They are so versatile, definitely a good stitch to have up your sleeve. :) Your loops are so awesome and flowing, did you use a regular domestic machine or do you have a long arm?
ReplyDeleteBeautifully done!
ReplyDeleteI can see why you might want to hang on to it for a while - it is really cool! I love the loops too.
ReplyDeleteI love both shots on the clothesline, perfect for such a bright and happy quilt. The quilting looks great Anja; as for that wind, yes! Ours was mostly out of the west yesterday but man it had a northwind bite! Was this a pattern or did you sew it together out of your head?
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on getting over your procrastination. The quilting looks great. It's a very nice pattern.
ReplyDeletespiffy -- love the loopy's too ..

ReplyDeleteLoops look great!
ReplyDeleteThose loops are lovely! And the stack of quilts that you might just keep for yourself appears to be growing!
ReplyDeleteI love this top and the loops where a great choice! Loops are always fun to quilt. You should keep it, it's a happy cheerful quilt. Congrats on the finish.
ReplyDeleteLove the loopy quilting! Really suits the happy vibe of this quilt!
ReplyDeleteThe loops look wonderful, Anja! I especially love that I can get a glimpse of the quilting texture in the stained glass style photography. And the scrappy binding is just right for this finish.
ReplyDeleteWow, Anja, this quilt is a beauty! Love the loops!
ReplyDeleteThe loops look really good!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is brilliant Anja . Love the vibrancy of it
ReplyDeleteYour quilting is awesome! What a great finish
ReplyDeleteNicely done. I do enjoy a good scrappy binding when the quilt contains lots of different fabrics.
ReplyDeleteOh Anja, it is lovely. I love the controlled scrappiness with all the fabrics. Beautiful finish!
