Only took 2 1/2 months, but I'm finally into the black! Now to keep it there..... I completed my Dragonfly Garden quilt this week, and also stitched 2 cloth books for our grandson - he'll be 2 months old this week!
I had fun on my quilt group outing, and amazingly, came home with no fabric!
This is the centre block of the quilt. Again, I had chosen a panel with 8 blocks, so had to add another.
I thought I had enough of the border stripe to make mitered corners, but the stripe was so wide, I ran short.
I add corner blocks instead, enlarging the corner of the centre block and matching the colours. This gave me a bit more room for some interesting quilting.
I inserted strips of gradated fabric between the rows of blocks, and was able to use Superior King Tut variegated thread, colour 921 - Cleopatra, to add more colour.
The dragonflies were all outlined in Superior Metallic thread, colour #25, variegated gold.
Head over to Judy's blog, Patchwork Times, to see others' reports.
Great solution, Susan! I love the result. :)
ReplyDeleteI was looking through your past years of quilts. I like to see how people progress through patterns and difficulty and styles. Your Golden Wings Dragonfly is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteLove your style!
