The mother of one of my co-workers found out I am a quilter. She is a very new quilter and wanted some help quilting one of her quilts. After some back and forth through email, we agreed on the quilting and she sent the top, batting, and backing along to me.
I loaded the quilt up and looked at the great piecing and grabbed a couple colors of thread that I thought would work with the front and the backing.
I liked the cream-colored thread better, and she agreed. I recommended an all-over flower design found in
Angela Walter's book Free-Motion Quilting.
It is a really great design because it works on so many prints and results in great texture.
I was worried about the quilting showing too much on the dark blue fabrics, but now that it's done I think it looks great.
The texture shows up better on the back.
A great quilt!
