I normally show pictures after the quilting is finished - but this is a project that I am currently working on.... I am both honored and scared to be quilting this beautiful hand-applique quilt for a dear lady in the local quilt guild, Jan. She wishes to give this quilt to her granddaughter for Christmas - yup, just 10 days away. But the granddaughter lives in FL - Jan and her husband leave on Thursday so I have 2 days to finish it....
Here are pictures of my start on quilting the Baltimore Album quilt – I am adding lots
of feathers – but debating on how much outline quilting to do around the applique – I
just don’t have the control to do a good job outlining on the gammil - so I am
thinking...
- add all the feathers,
- unload it
- then on my Viking, add the outline
quilting –
- Oh, the size of that task just feels overwhelming!
– so I this afternoon I tried a bit
of outline quilting in 2 of the blocks – worked fairly well in one, but I scored about a D+
rating on the 2nd block....Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.... \\
My plan right now is to quilt the feathers as close to the applique as possible then
when I unload the quilt, judge which parts need further quilting with outline –
and do only those spots, hopefully will be less than 50%!
Isn't it a gorgeous quilt!
