My last post about my Bee a Brit Stingy row quilt was here.
I stitched my gorgeous rows together and added borders all around.
So this is what happened next....
I quilted it in the ditch.
I wondered whether I should add lots of custom quilting or not.....
I did have to add some quilting to get my 4" minimum required by the wadding; I quilted more densely in the more detailed blocks with a white background and less so in those with a dark background and bigger scale! I thought the quilting should be in scale with the blocks.
I picked this backing fabric which repeats a lot of the colours in the top.
And here is the finished quilt! Can't thank my Bee mates enough for this dramatic beauty which goes well beyond my expectations...
