the amish pinwheels have made it vertical! i did this for color placement and am pretty satisfied, though i did find quite a few purple value blocks in the stack. the center medallion is to be quilted. it's a large urn with feathers and topped with a pineapple. though i don't like to use fusibles on my fabric, not being sure what their very long-term results are, i couldn't think of another method that would be as botch-free as Transfer-eze. i've got a wool batt at the ready for this once the flimsy is done, currently being assembled by hand. this is another fully hand-pieced, hand-quilted project. after i finish quilting lovers' links, this one will be quilted, hoping to get it done for my bed this winter. it'll be cozy, don't you think?Wednesday, September 14, 2011

Grace, love the quilt. I just tackled my first pinwheel pattern - not the best. I'm calling it a learning experience!
ReplyDeleteWow--all hand-pieced and then hand-quilted, to boot. Very nice job on the pinwheels. I am very curious about your centerpiece, after that intriguing description. I'm sure your labors will be well worth it come winter!
ReplyDeleteThey look wonderful. I am in awe of handpiecing.
