When I showed the progress on ‘Circular Thinking’ a couple of weeks ago, it was quilted and just waiting to be faced. I had quilted the right side with horizontal straight lines, and the left side with vertical lines. I decided to add vertical quilting in the chartreuse portion of the circle, so that section now has a grid of quilting. I’m really happy with the effect!
I’ve submitted to a show that I’ve never entered before, Quilts=Art=Quilts (QAQ), an international juried quilt exhibition at the Schweinfurth Art Center.
When I was applying the facing to this quilt, I decided to change my technique for reducing bulk in the corners. I cut a 1″ square out of the batting in each corner. I’ve updated my facing technique tutorial with this information.
Thanks for stopping by. Today, I’m linking up with these blogs – click on the links below, where you’ll find many creative and inspirational projects.
This has such beautiful balance and lines. Good luck with the competition. I followed your link – NY’f finger lakes are supposed to be very nice. You’ll have to to there!
Great idea to add the extra quilting in the chartreuse it looks wonderful! Good luck with the submission
What a great tip! Now to remember it next time I’m working on a piece!!! That’s the hard part!!!
