Have you seen the new signature Island Batik fabric collection -- Morris Mist -- for Sherry @ Powered by Quilting? I was honoured to have been asked to participate in the blog hop showcasing the collection.
I played around in EQ8 using the Arrowhead block. This is a large sized baby quilt at 46 inches.
(It's hard to get photos in the morning before work, and then it's dark after work. I can't wait for spring.)
I used Aurifil #2309 Silver White thread. It blended in so well with both the front and the back.
I couldn't decide on a quilting plan, and the quilt was pinned to the frame before I settled on free-motion quilted flowers and loops.
I also added my name in the bottom corner.
I finished piecing the top at Sewtopia Nashville early in November. The Warm Company generously donated batting. I'm so glad I took a piece -- cotton batting is sooooooooo very soft.
If you haven't already done so, head over to Sherry's blog to enter her giveaway.
This is a beautiful quilt, and one that will be treasured always! Such a great idea to quilt your name into a corner...I've got to remember that tip! (Hurry on, Spring!)
ReplyDeleteI love this quilt and what a fun design to show off Sherry's collection. The quilting is fabulous, too. I love that you signed your name too. I need to start adding that in on mine. I have said that before but maybe 2024 is the year!
ReplyDeleteThe Silver White thread blends in beautifully. What fabulous quilting; it's clear you are feeling more confident with your new machine. And a beautiful quilt to show of Sherry's line.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty quilt!! and right? The dark in the morning and evening... not my favorite!
