Mystery Quilt Finish.
Posted on | July 11, 2011 | 12 Comments
It is always lovely when the last stitch goes into the binding and a quilt is finished. This is the mystery quilt I did in a workshop back in January.
I managed to have a few moments outside with the camera when the wind eased off, just before the rain bucketed down. It has ended up being a comfortable sized lap quilt.
I am still a novice at free motion quilting and know I have to keep practicing on each quilt. The pattern in this fabric had lots of curves and swirls which was a good guide for the quilting designs.
I did a cross between feathers and leaves in each cat then some pebbling around them.
There are loops and swirls in the black borders. I tried curves on each of the triangles and know that this is definitely something that needs a lot more work.
Lots of curves and swirls in the white and yellow borders. Hard to show as the fabric design is so busy. (It is also good for hiding hiccups!)
Also some half flowers in the corner triangles.
I had some fun with the fabric for the backing.
A combination of dogs, cats, children, pandas and spots.
All that is left to do is add the label.
Another one done!
You’ve done an amazing job. It looks wonderful.
What a gorgeous quilt! Practically perfect in every way. Your stitching looks great to me!
I love everything about you quilt, a great pattern and fabrics and your quilting is impressive! You’re so good at tackling tricky designs and making them look fun! I love the backing too! It’s cute and fun!
WoW great FMQ…..you are awesome. The quilting is wonderful, you should be very proud of your finished quilt…hugs Pauline
Your quilt look Beautiful. I think your free motion quilting look great. You have done a great job on your quilt.
Karen your quilt is lovely. Your quilting is lovely, I can’t do feathers to save my life!! I have just about mastered doing swirls and not too bad at a paisley design but feathers….forget it. AND you can do pebbles and I can’t do those either, I would say your quilting is pretty darn good!! Hugs Linda x
Great finish…. I do like the quilting you have done…. well done with the feathers – I really battle with them…

That’s fabulous. I am not sure if I love the front or the backing best. It’s all great. Beautiful job of quilting too!! This looks like it had to be fun to put together.
Congrats Karen, just love it especially the backing fabrics.
Happy days.
