The center was challenging, but I pushed through it at a slow and steady pace.
Once I got away from the center, the quilting went much faster and I was surprised at how quickly I was able to finish last night.
I'll be making the binding this evening and sewing it onto the quilt. I'll have the rest of the weekend to finish hand-stitching the binding. I think the dark plum will frame this quilt nicely. You also get a sneak peak of the back in this picture.
My goal is to have this one in the mail by Monday. Wish me luck!
Looks awesome! I do love those big circles/spirals on quilts.
ReplyDeleteLooks great! I've been so intimidated by this I haven't tried it yet. Really like how the bird is centered in the middle of star.
ReplyDeleteThe back and binding will look perfect! and your quilting is....um, amazing!!! So perfect. What a sweet baby quilt:)
ReplyDeleteI definitely need to try spiral quilting. Yours looks terrific! Love that star!

Beautiful! Your quilting is amazing! I did this on a king size quilt and it is amazing how quickly that outside edge shows up :)
ReplyDeleteYes! Your spiral quilting looks perfect! Well done, Janet! I am doing the happy dance with you!
ReplyDeletevery good spirals and see you do it without a walking foot, how hard that must be
ReplyDeletelove those colors, and I think you did an awesome job on the quilting
ReplyDeleteIt's gorgeous- both the piece itself and the quilting!
ReplyDeleteGreat job Janet! Lovin' the colors and your circle quilting...
ReplyDeleteGreat work! You made the centre of that spiral very neat :)
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks for posting the pic of the walking foot in action. I wondered what that extra bit of metal was for! At last, enlightenment - it's a guide :D
Love the circle quilting that is amazing. I need to get a better walking foot with a arm like yours.

It looks fantastic, I agree that the dark plum will frame it nicely. Thanks for linking up.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you are doing a wonderful job!
ReplyDeleteThose continuous circles look great. Makes the bird and butterflies look like they are really in flight if you ask me. The deep purple/plum color is really lovely. I look forward to seeing the finished quilt post!
ReplyDeleteThis is so pretty Janet! I'm so glad I got to see it in person!
