I finished the quilting and binding on a full size top that has been waiting a while (okay a year!) and I'm quite pleased with it!
I'm calling it Sea Turtle Twist because most of the fabric were purchased in Hawaii almost six years ago. I bought a kit because I loved the fabrics, but knew I would make a different quilt from the pattern that was included. Last year I taught (with my friend Martha) a class on how to use the twister ruler. It comes in many different sizes and I chose the large one, knowing this quilt would be almost queen size.
I love that there are sea turtles in several of the fabrics, so I decided to quilt it in a watery ripples kind of design. It is almost like a large stipple, only I tried to make it look like currents and ripples in the water. I think it turned out well.
I have no doubt my girl with claim this one for her room! I am happy to give it to her if it means I can get the A3D9P back from her. Wish me luck!
Enjoy every stitch!

ReplyDeleteI got my twister quilted last week and the binding on it last night and it has been done about 6 mo. I do however have quilts to be quilted that have been in the closet 5 years so I understand:)
When I was in Hawaii for my 25th I bought a pillow kit and I did finish it by my 30th:)
