Heart fluttering and a love affair going on for this beautiful quilt!
Pretend the shadows aren't there............this was taken the same day I took photo's of The Crinoline Ladies. ( remember in between the showers day!) Another beautifully made quilt by Veron.
Hours of custom quilting went into this quilt, but I enjoyed every delicious moment!
This is a large quilt: 85" x 100" each Dresden block is 15" square. I SID (stitched in the ditch) around each Dresden then echoed a 1/4". Pebbles and the odd swirl was the background fill. I then quilted using my ruler star points alternating with a swirl.
The mini Dresdens were sort 'corner stones,' had their own special quilting.
The soft green sashing was treated to swirls and a feather vine.
Designing the shapely border was fun, breaking the area up appealed as did some curved cross-hatching and feathers.
The outer border received the same breaking up method, this time a cross-hatch, then a pattern meander to create some nice texture.
For the back lovers out there...................................................................
Thank you so much Veron, it is ALWAYS a pleasure working with you!
Over the past few weekends when I had a few hours available I worked on my Star Mastery quilt. I attached the borders and all the applique shapes in place, just needing to blanket stitch then to quilt it.
Another 'finish'..........not really a finish' finish', but another round of The Country Yard's Mystery Medallion, my version.
Both of my projects are scrappy with a strong blend of Kansas Troubles fabrics.
Liz and Sue...............that ones for you!

ReplyDeleteI'm naughty and don't comment often, but I look in each time you post. I have to say, the Crinoline ladies and the Dresden quilt are beautiful and I love the quilting work you have put into them, amazing.
ReplyDeleteGosh Leeanne, Veron has made two beautiful quilts hasnt she. I love her fabric choices, love the way you have quilted it. Theres something so timeless about Dresdens. Quite like the rosemary bush shadow in your photos :-)
ReplyDeleteLove the quilting - it compliments the design perfectly. Out of curiosity, do you use a walking foot for the lines or do that all with the freehand quilting foot?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, love how you quilted the green sashings.
ReplyDeleteI never know what how and what to quilt on a quilt.

ReplyDeleteVeron has made two of the most beautiful quilts, your quilting is wonderful. I think the cat is jealous now, giving you the raspberries, you are an inspiration to all quilters, lovely to see what is happening at the Country Yard.
ReplyDeleteOh that dresden quilt is beautiful, such soft feminine colours. You sort of forget there are fabrics like this out, when all we see are big bold modern ones on the internet.
