It feels good to be working
After a trip I always have so much catching up to do but I’m also eager to get back to work. So a little piecing this morning and this afternoon, I loaded and quilted this group HeartStrings top — blocks were sent to Sue and the top assembled either by her or her mother and passed along for me to quilt and bind.
Quilted with my freehand Baptist Fans (check the How To tab at the top of the blog if interested in how I do these freehand).
A view of the back — if you decide to try these — don’t worry that they’re a bit wonky. On a string or scrappy quilt it won’t be noticeable or if it is, it just adds to the charm.
Beautiful, Mary, I see Chesty was happy to have you home. he is so adorable
You do a VERY nice job on those freehand fans. I bought the boards but haven’t ever used them. Now I found a pantograph pattern that I think will be easier to use. We shall see.
I am happy to read you’re into the groove of working and enjoying it.
I always admire Baptist fans, and this is so pretty. I read your how-to, and I’m wondering what is the advantage to doing it upside down, or are they always done like that?
