It's been really cold here in New England this week so I've been spending a lot of time in my studio where I can crank the heat up and pretend I'm still on vacation:-) I went on a basting kick and basted 3 quilts so there
should be a lot of quilting going on... but instead I got distracted:-) It all started when I finally pieced together a back and basted this
Plus One flimsy I made last winter.
It was sitting with the very last of my French General scraps and I started thinking how nice it would be to have a pillow to go with all the rest of my
Rouenneries decor... next thing I knew I'd pieced together this top.
It was really just an excuse to try my hand at Orange Peel quilting. I did mine as a serpentine similar to this
technique by
I'm a Ginger Monkey but I found it easier to use my free motion foot rather than my walking foot.
Some of my circles are better than others;-) Every time I think I'm in the groove I hit a seam and it throws me off. Next time I'll try
Oh, Fransson!'s approach and see if I get better results.
Now to make a back and add the binding and I'll be ready for tonight's
Hand Sewing Happy Hour at
Quilter's Way:-)
