Design Wall Monday


 I finished machine quilting "Fruit Salad" over the past two days.  I  outlined all the light triangles and the purple border, using monofilament thread.
Since I like the blocks to be the "stars" of the quilt, I did a small amount of quilting in the centre of each one, using a variegated polyester thread.
I stitched oval leaf shapes along the seams in the background green print, then stippled around the fruit in the final border.

  1. Your fruit salad quilt was such a pleasure to look at today in cloudy, snowy MO. I sure wish I could spend the winter in Florida as I don't like snow or very cold weather.
