This little quilt was started in October 2010 - so not that old a UFO, more a lapsed WIP!
I attended a course at the Quilt Room led by Carolyn Forster where she got us quilting a pre-prepared strip quilt with a selection from a list of big stitches, mennonite tacks, crows feet, running cross stitch, Methodist knot, and the Amish wave or elbow quilting. This last one was by far my favourite.
Here is a close up of my efforts:
The fabrics are from a Heather Bailey jelly roll and some plaid I had. Maybe the fabrics are a bit busy to show up the stitching or I may need to use a more contrasting thread for stitching.....Might make some changes ?

Here is a close up of my efforts:
I used threads in lovely colours I had originally bought to make lace - so a bit of re-purposing was going on as I haven't made lace in ages! They are DMC 80 in a raspberry colour and green. For the Amish wave, I used a thicker thread, looks like perle cotton in pastel lime green (sorry lost the label).

Nice little project that deserves to be finished off. I will enjoy this when I get back into it.....whenever that is ??
