    Default First finished project 2019

    I started this one last April and finished it (except for label) on Sunday. I think I need to get rulers for my mid-arm or to have used the walking foot on my DSM to outline the blocks, but I was running out of time to get it finished for a guild challenge on Monday. The challenge was to use raw edge applique (the cats and butterflies were the sample I got when I "enrolled" in it last spring). After finishing the rest of the top last June, I decided that the appliques would add to the quilt. When I finally got around to the quilting in mid to late January, I decided on using freezer paper to repeat the butterflies and cats, as well as to add the dragonflies, in the other blocks.

    What a fun quilt! The appliqued and quilted critters add a bit of whimsy, for sure.

    That's gorgeous and a beautiful job on the meandering (stippling?)

    Love the simplicity of the piecing...the black silhouettes add punch and the reverse outline quilting reinforces the design. Wonderful!

    Simply put ... nice simple quilt with a big emphasis. Demands attention.
