There is not
a lot to see this week as all the effort has been poured into the one project.
I have been trying to get the crazy quilt finished. I have layered it and
pinned it and got it under the sewing machine now, ready for quilting. To
stabilise the layers I have used a walking foot and a variegated thread to do
vertical and horizontal lines either side of the seams, using the width of the walking
foot as a guide.
I also felt that
there needed to be some quilting around the centre of each block to hold it
down. I decided to do my favourite free-motion design of a sprig radiating from
the centre. As the fabrics are multi-coloured, a variegated thread blends in
nicely and it means I don’t have to be too fussy as it can barely be seen!
As the quilt was
stabilised with the vertically and horizontally sewn lines, I was able to use a
Liberty fabric to make a tight double binding around the edge. All I need to do
now is continue sewing the centre motifs and add a sleeve. This quilt will be
finished in time. Phew!
