Not the best quilting choice
I don’t usually quilt two tops in a day but I was still waiting for the tile guy to finish this afternoon so I put this HeartStrings top pieced by Sue and her group in CA on the machine and quilted it. I quilted freehand leaves and curls but the quilting doesn’t show at all, I can’t even get a picture of it with side lighting.
I think the best quilting for these HeartStrings quilts is something like Baptist Fans or Ebb & Flow — something with lots of consistent texture. I need to pull out my clamshell pantograph and do that on another one.
And here’s a sneak peak at the tile waiting for grouting. He’ll be back at 7AM (ugh!).
Like the tile!
Nice choice for the blacksplash…it is looking good. I think quilting that second top was a great use of your time!
Backsplash…..lol
That’s very pretty. I like the natural colours.
ooops, sorry — I meant to say the quilt looks great, too!
The tile looks lovely, and so does the quilt.
Nice tile choice. Much more interesting than the original white.
Love the tile!
Tile looks great. Love the quilts….
Thanks for the suggestions on quilting the Heartstrings. I was wondering what to go with on the one I just finished. Any suggestions for your Strips and Strings Log Cabin? I work frameless on my Janome. Backsplash looks nice.
I like the quilt and the tile. Question….do you always use the same color thread when quilting? Tile color looks nice.
I love the earthtones Mary – something I think will not go out of style
Love your tiles. I was looking for something like that, but didn’t find. So had to take another choice.
