Neocolor II Portrait.......Iris.....Quilted

The Neocolor II Iris Portrait

is going under the needle today...

Let's see where the day takes us:

I pulled a few threads that appealed to me...

I need different shades of pink for this piece.

This is the back side of the quilt.

I chose a Bottom Line Thread for the bobbin.

I will outline the entire flower with

Bottom Line Black Thread...

All of the outline work has been done at this point.

Keep the photo nearby for reference...

All of the yellow areas have been quilted...

All of the lighter pink thread is done at this point

All of the darker pink thread is done at this point

I am using 2 different shades of

Green Variegated Thread

for the Leaves

All of the quilting on the flower and leaves is complete

All that is left is to trim and bind the Iris

This piece was a great deal of fun to quilt.

Makes me want to do another...

If the sun comes out, I will be mowing the lawn,

cleaning out flower beds and planting bulbs

this weekend.
