Stippling Along!

I planned to finish quilting one of my Friendship's Garden blocks every week. It is quite intense all that tiny stitching and not really something I've done before. 

But yesterday I quilted one block and today I have quilted another....maybe I will manage to quilt one row per week.

And here it is...





I have stippling outside the wreath, cross hatching inside plus the word Friendship's which will be joined by Garden in another wreath.

I have been calling this quilt Friendship's Garden (the pattern name) for so long I cannot think of it as anything else!

It is a Blackbird Designs' pattern by Alma Allen and Cherie Ralston.  I really enjoyed the applique with the mix of straight lines and curves - it was a great pattern to learn from.  

The two blocks together!

  8. Nicky I have been watching you quilt on IG but initially thought that it was a big panel that you had quilted. Didn't realise that it was just one of many blocks within a quilt! Completely in awe of your microstippling - it's beautiful. Every time you do a showstopper I think it is the Quilt of a Lifetime and then you go and outdo yourself again with the next one. Amazing work xxx
