Progress on the Honeybee



Today’s a better day and I’m making good progress on Mom’s Honeybee. I had comments asking how I was going to quilt it so I thought I’d post a couple pictures.

In the large squares I’m doing a modified designs with lines pattern. Most of the fabrics are too busy to mark anything so I just chalk the registration lines and then quilt the feathers freehand.

The second picture is one of the leaves I decided on after ripping out the sashing quilting yesterday. They look much better.

    Not sure what you had in there before that this looks like a good choice along with the free form feathers.

    Hope the quilting is going better today.

    I bet your Mom loves it. I don’t know alot about long arm quilting,but I bet the free motion stuff is easier.
