quilting away.
2.23.2012
I've been busy quilting this week. I'm using wavy lines again for my do.Good Stitches September quilt, I just can't seem to get enough of them! A few people have asked for a tutorial on this method of quilting, and I do want to put one together but it will require video, so I'm trying to figure out how to make that work.
I'm using gray thread, and while I don't love it, it will work. The back is a really dark purple so I didn't want to use white. Purple or orange would've been fun but I didn't have enough of those on hand, so gray it is.
I still have a lot left to do on this one, it's a big quilt!
I also finished quilting my neon quilt! I opted for random straight lines all over the gray sections, with a little echo quilting through the chevron and stripes. I used my hera marker for the first time to mark all those straight lines, it worked great! I'll be using it much more frequently from now on.
Just need to bind this neon quilt and it's finished! If only I could decide on a binding. Any suggestions?

ReplyDeleteYour design and color scheme for the dgs quilt was brilliant! And it makes me feel better to see you working on one from September, since I'm not done with mine from Novemeber :)
ReplyDeleteI love the colours in your DGS quilt. is there anything that does not go with purple? I am loving stripes for binding at the moment or combinations of the materials used. Going to go and look for some orange to add to my stash now, it is looking fantastic with that purple.
ReplyDeleteLOVE LOVE LOVE Holly, you are awesome!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous. Try the plum from the chevron as binding, or if you're really feeling "out of the box" go with the yellow-green.
ReplyDeletei realize i am crazy but the first thing i thought when you asked about binding for the neon quilt was a funky blue - you know, super 80s all the way! both these quilts are awesome!
