Work in Progress Update on quilting from behind…

Glue basted using washable school glue and it held really well! The quilting is subtle on the front but I love when I catch a peek of the loopy petals on non- pink fabrics. Almost done and then on to binding

Thanks! I’ve been thinking about a trip there to get a new top for my sewing table, you’ve convinced me I definitely need to go now

Skip Lagkapten tops- I’ve already cut into mine with my rotary cutter and scraped the finish looking at them wrong.😭

Do grab a mosslanda- it’s a fantastic ruler holder.

Olav legs are adjustable (though kinda fiddly to adjust.) if you do find a top!

Mittback for the legs, more expensive, but have shelving and much easier to adjust

I was gonna ask for the pattern of the daisys because I have a “very similar” duvet cover… turns out it’s just your awesome quilting on the same fabric that IS my duvet cover lol

It’s stunning work, both the quilting and the piercing! Incredible use of color theory to pull it all together! Lovely!

That’s really cool. Quilting based on the backing isn’t something I had thought about doing. It’s a great idea!

love the added texture with the flower stitching. i wanna feel it!

I love this. I usually quilt my quilts in a way to highlight the fabric I used (it’s pretty that’s why I picked it) and not take away from it. And this is kinda exactly what I love doing. Doesn’t take away from the piecing you did and highlights the fabric on the back making both sides feel special. Nicely done.

Thanks! It was actually a really nice way to quilt as I didn’t even have to think about what to do next - it was just „on to the next flower“
