The purple buttons are actually upside-down. I thought the back of the button looked more like a flower!
If you have been reading my blog for a while, you will know that I do not do hand quilting. I learned a long time ago how to hand quilt, but since I work full time, I have always chosen to pay someone else to quilt my bigger projects and machine quilt my smaller projects on my DSM. Since this project has been almost all done by hand, except the borders, I decided it needed hand quilting.
I have some more thread colours picked out and a design in mind for the orange and triangle borders. With any luck, I might be able to finish this project this week.
Come back next week and maybe there will be a finished project to share!
The colours of the threads are just luscious!
ReplyDeleteAwesome! So excited about all the little details that give a quilt more interest. And you are hand quilting.... I am doing the celebration dance...woohoo!
ReplyDeleteThe purple buttons are very cute flowers indeed! I just LOVE it!!
ReplyDeleteIt's wonderful to have one hand quilting project on the go. Not all have to be done by hand. Wonderful job.
ReplyDeleteLovely colours too
It's fun to see this project proceed along...what nice thread colors and stitching as well :)
ReplyDeletegreat job wonderful to sit down in the evening after work and take some stitches!
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoyed those hand quitling stitches. I can understand that is hard to fit in everything when you work. What a cute little project and I agree the hand stitching was really needed to finish it off.
ReplyDeleteWith all the handwork on this, I agree that you needed to hand quilt it. Great progress!
ReplyDeleteI love the colours of that hand quilting thread! This whole project is quite lovely.Your hand quilting is also amazing.
ReplyDeleteYour quilting is quite pretty. This quilt definitely needed hand quilting with all the beautiful embellishments you have added.
ReplyDeleteThe button flowers are perfect (and so are the stitches)!
