A Finished Snowball.
Posted on | September 18, 2010 | 1 Comment
My pink snowball quilt is finished! Maybe because of the colour it should be a marshmallow quilt. Just food for thought.
I finally completed all the hand sewing on the binding and then had to wait for good light for a few photos.
I think the next picture gives a better idea of the texture in the quilt from the different quilting patterns. A lot of hours went into the quilting and I am delighted with the end result.
I quilted straight lines in white thread down the side of every seam to secure the quilt. I then did freehand flowers inside each snowball using a variegated thread. The border was finished with freehand pebbles using a plain thread.
I really love the final look on the back of the quilt too!
You left a comment on your blog that you just finished a snowball quilt so I had to come check it out. It is so cute! i love the quilting. did you do this on your sewing machine or do you have a longarm?
