A Finish to Share

During my little bits of time for sewing this week, I have been working on the spiral quilting on my Jacquie Gering Improvisational Piecing project. 


I used my walking foot--each line of sewing is the width of the walking foot away from the next line.


I love how the quilting looks but it sure takes a long time to do!


You can see that I used some leftover selvage "fabric" that I made for a previous project.

No more tension issues!  I used 3 1/2 bobbins of thread for this quilt.


I will be displaying this quilt as a wall hanging.  I love the texture of the spiral quilting.

All trimmed up and ready to bind!



I chose some bright green fabric from my stash for the binding and machine sewed it on last night.

Today, I completed hand sewing the binding down.

All done!


At the workshop, I asked Jacquie to sign the label for me.  It is now quilted into the quilt.



Thanks for a great workshop, Jacquie! 

Now, on to the next UFO...

    I love spiral quilting -- it's so cool! I've tried it once on a smaller project . . . it makes for a very neat texture. Your finish is beautiful -- the shapes and colors are wild and fun! :)

    I love the improv blocks and the quilting. It is time consuming but worth the effort as the result is fabulous.
