Sunflower Quilt.....Quilting Done


Remember this Sunflower quilt ?



It's been hanging around

basted and ready to quilt...




I quilted the center of the sunflower in January.



Today.....I decided to finish the quilting:


Here it is all trimmed and ready for the facing



Here are close-ups of the quilting:


This is all curved piecing.....no applique'





Batik Fabrics and my Hand Dyes





I used a long, curved ruler

to machine quilt all of those lines




I used 4 different shades of blue thread

for the background quilting













For the edge treatment,

I have decided a binding would be distracting

so I will face the edge.

May Your Bobbin Always Be Full,

  5. I have enjoyed watching your sunflower quilt develop over time. The quilting is awesome.
    Thanks also for the picture of the self haircut. Unfortunately, I took scissors to my hair last week. Not as obvious as the photo you posted but no where near the cut I get from my hairdresser. If I hadn't cut it, I would have to do Zoom meetings with a bag over my head. Quarantine started in Massachusetts 4 days before my overdue haircut was to have taken place. I love the messages of light, laughter, and kindness in these crazy time! I have been reading your blog for several years but seldom post, Now that I am home more, I'm able to take the time to reply.Take care and be well.
