Finally, I've finished quilting my Picnic Quilt!
I added a white border which I think makes the blocks look like they're floating.

When I first picked out fabrics from my stash I thought that the red and white polka dot fabric would steal too much attention. Now that everything is together I think it works well with the other fabrics.
Sometimes when I see fabric on sale I will buy it no matter what.... Even an ugly fabric like this backing that I've had around for 7 years. At first I thought I would never end up using it but it's found a place in this quilt.
I quilted the first sampler quilt for Janet who has a cute British accent that I adore.
This quilt with needle turn embroidery came from Judy. The colors in this quilt make me think of Spring. It's already warmed up a bit in Texas which makes me even more anxious for spring.
The quilting shows up very well on the white backing.
Happy Quilting,
Your picnic quilt is adorable! luv the fabrics you used!

ReplyDeleteI love your picnic quilt and I think the red polka dot is perfect. I can see how you may have thought it would steal the show but that pattern is so great it just really works, doesn't it? Beautiful quilting on this as well. Lovely choice. Sampler for Janet came out perfect. Again with that great meander. It really works! Judy's quilt is amazing and the quilting sets it off in an award winning way. Your right - it looks so pretty on the back.
