With all the beautiful sunshine I felt wonderful outside taking the photos of the quilt. If you check out Sophie Junction on my side bar, you can see the beautiful sky and her Adobe Deck in Santa Fe! I was lusting after that Adobe building earlier today!
The dogs were happy running around and scouting out the slow moving lizards waking up from their sleep during the cold week. Well, at least McGee was hunting lizards. Don't worry, he is rarely successful.
Here is the top unquilted. Remember that I took orphan blocks and pieced the back strip? Again, unquilted.
I put it on the frame and did a meandering loop. Nothing fancy, I didn't want to spend a lot of time just quilting, I have too many things to get quilted. I can get fancier as we go along.
Oh. My. Gosh. I do so love those foxes! (All the fabric is Moda or solids.) There are some really fun fabrics in there.
Here is UnReferenced in some
Chloe checks out the back of the quilt on one of my benches.
Folded and draped and draped some more! I love how it all comes together with the quilting. The feel of the quilt changes, and it becomes......well, real!
I have a Remember Me Guild meeting tonight and will show it off there. They are a very traditional group so we shall see if they clap!
And tomorrow I can sew a white binding on the edges and do some hand work while watching TV!
Clap; clap; clapping wildly!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great quilt to cuddle up on the couch with a good book! Nicely done :-)
