I finished loading my rather unattractive Rail Fence UFO last night and have been working on the quilting today. The plan was to stitch the applique down first and then throw a pantograph on it. After further thought I decided I’d try a Line Dancing design by Diana Phillips that she calls pine needles.
Once I finish quilting the pine needles I’ll go back and stitch down the applique. I also made another 3 Pineapple blocks last night – now I’ve finished 12 but still have a long way to go to make a king size quilt.
I don’t think this is an unattractive quilt at all! That greenish color rescues it. =) I love Diana’s books. Good choice for this quilt. You do such nice work, too. =)A Premier is what I had, and I loved it, with it’s 12′ table. No stitch regulator back then!
I actually like this quilt also. I think it looks nice. A good blend of fall, earthtone colors.I do however want to bid on the Baptist Quilt before you donate it to some “Other Charity!”Jamie of Bowie
well done to get so far on the quilting of this one Mary! done is so much better than lying around.
Wow, I really like that quilting – it sure is working for that quilt!
That’s a neat quilting pattern. I’ll have to look up “Diana Phillips”.
I think it is great. Amazing how the quilting can do so much for a quilt. I have a question about the applique. It is okay to applique after the the quilt is quilted? Will you use the blanket stitch? Diane from Patchogue
This quilt is turning out really nice. I like the pine needle idea. Your quilting is always so beautiful.
I thought that the applique was a nice addition but the quilting will elevate the quilt to something that you may enjoy a lot more when it is completed. I cannot remember if you said is was staying or one you planned on donating?
The quilting makes the quilt, for this one at least it is true. I am sure it will look even better once the appliqué is done. And a good feeling to have a UFO less. Take care.
This is a great quilt. I just love the dimension it has. Congrats on completing a UFO!
