Quilting In Spring.
Posted on | October 8, 2017 | 10 Comments
Isn’t it lovely when Spring finally arrives!
The blossom has been falling like confetti on the garden and driveway. So pretty.
It has also been much easier to get out to take quilt photos.
This quilt is a lovely reminder of our visit to Charleston, SC, as the fabrics were purchased there and remind me of that sea-side city.
I started with two charm packs which were are the HSTs in the middle.
And the yardage was used in the border. I had enough of the yardage left over to use in the backing in the centre.
I kept the quilting simple with straight lines each side of every seam of the HSTs – horizontal, vertical and diagonal. I used a neutral thread on the main body of the quilt. It gives the illusion of triangles being quilted inside each piece.
Glad I didn’t have to really do that.
In the border I did teardrops. Blue thread on the front.
And kept the neutral thread on the back. Navy binding.
Another finish done and dusted. Time for a bit of Spring cleaning too. Windows first!
Have a lovely week.
Cheers, Karen

I love how graphic this quilt is and the tear drop quilting is awesome! What a great reminder of your visit.
Wow loving this quilt, the colours are my favourite palette. A man making a crochet rug in those same colours.
The quilting is perfect!
Well done
What a gorgeous quilt. It is great to have quilts from holidays. I love half square triangle quilts.
Love the khaki/beige and navy together. They are very calming. The moment I saw your quilt, I thought the fabric had some sort of confetti print. Those are seagulls! They make really nice confetti, and so do the blossoms from those gorgeous trees.
Your quilt is a great reminder of your holiday – so nice and fresh looking. It’s Spring here too, over thee ditch in New Zealand.
It’s gorgeous! The fabrics are just perfect. While you’re enjoying Spring, we’re enjoying our fall colors.

What a pretty quilt, Karen. I love the fabric you chose. It looks like little bits of blossoms floating on the surface. The feather quilting in the borders is lovely too. Great finish!
