Progress on Succulents quilt – 2019.07.10

In my last post, I talked about how I’m constructing my new Succulents quilt. I had selected a background fabric and was about to start the quilting.

I’m doing the quilting in 2 stages.

Here’s how I did the first stage. I spray-basted the background fabric to a layer of acrylic felt. Then I positioned the succulents and quilted along the edges of the bias strips around each leaf. Then I quilted the centers of each plant.

I gave the centers the same outline look as the leaves by fusing the fabrics to felt (which perfectly matches the bias tape!)

The second stage of the quilting will be to spray-baste the backing fabric to the felt, then quilt straight lines through all three layers. I hope to have that completed this weekend.
