I have my beady eye fixed on finishing two quilts at the moment!
The blocks of the first one are delectable mountain blocks - made in the way Bonnie Hunter describes in her excellent tutorial
I wanted to have a more modern look to the layout so I went for this with lots of negative space which meant lots of room for quilting. I thought that would be a good thing!
When it came to the quilting I really struggled with deciding what to quilt.
After a couple of failed attempts - and lots of unpicking - I have settled on this design which Angela Walters and others call spirals
I had been looking for a link between my block - the delectable mountain - and my quilting and the spirals remind me of these
Fossilized ammonites!
So I am relaxing into this swirly pattern and enjoying it!
Hoping for a finish as soon as I fill up the rest of the space and unpick this bit! Argh! Which I don't like anymore....
I'll save the other quilt for another post!

Great choice of colours in this quilt and the spirals are looking great! Sorry about the unpicking- that's the pits!

ReplyDeleteLove it ...I like the circles too x
ReplyDeleteIt's wonderful (and finished, since I'm reading this post about seven hours after you posted it - I can't keep up!!) - I can't wait to see the grand reveal! Which other quilt are you working on? LJS?
ReplyDeleteI love both! Oh Nicky! You are incredible!
ReplyDeleteGosh, you certainly like a challenge Nicky! I love the spiral quilting.
ReplyDeleteOh Nicky, are you sure it needs unsewing? It looks fab from here!
