It is a long time since I linked up to the Rainbow Scrappy Challenge. When I started this in January 2017 I was struggling to keep up. The top was finally completed in January 2018 after a serious attack on it over the Christmas period, but since then it has been lingering around waiting for me to quilt it. Before I had decided how I would quilt it I forced the issue by entering it into the 2019 Quilt UK, Malvern Show which is on this weekend.
'Jane's Pinwheel' Quilt 62" x 62"
So last weekend I was quilting it on my longarm quilting machine, in between my customer quilts. I stitched in EVERY ditch and then added a simple orange peel design. I wanted the piecing to be the focus, not the quilting. It has made a dent into the Kim Diehl fabrics left over from my Dear Jane quilt, but there are plenty more to come out of that bag. Linking to So Scrappy Saturday
Really beautiful job on both the piecing and the quilting. I totally hear you on the "forcing the issue by entering a quilt into a show". If it weren't for my guild's shows I might never finish much at all.
So beautiful and quite bright even in more muted colors. You provide great motivation for getting mine together...plus the orange peel quilting is perfect!
That is spectacular! I love it! The outside border of HSTs was a great idea! So much piecing work in this lovely quilt... I hope it wins lots of ribbons!
Love your quilt! I think your quilting really did accent the wonderful piecing. Beautiful job! I made one from my stash as well, but only half as many blocks. I admire your beautiful work!
OH this is lovely! Well done, I love it!
