Take a look at this simple jelly roll quilt top....forgot to get a photo of the whole top before I started, sorry...but it's simple right, nothing fancy! Basically it's a colour graded quilt working with the colours from the jelly roll.
I had some glazed cotton that matched so well that I just had to use it for the backing and binding....I bound the quilt while still on the frame....even that little end bit, it can be done on the frame even though it's a bit tricky.....you have to be very careful of your fingures and take just one stitch at a time...mind you wouldn't want to do this on a show quilt....
But what really amazes me is the difference a bit of quilting can make.....
That's an all over 'freemotion jelly feather fill'....
Just goes to show....it's the quilting that makes the quilt!
Maybe I should ask you to transform one of mine! Wonderful job and love the before and after shots - what a difference!
ReplyDeleteYes-that's quite a difference and very pretty!

ReplyDeleteYou are so right; it is the quilting that makes the quilt. And the view from the back, wow! The glazed cotton really shows off that fabulous free form feathering. Congratulations, again.
ReplyDeleteYou are so right! I still haven't tried attaching binding on Willie but I need to give it a try soon.
