I'm awaiting a new bundle price from Spectrum again, so I'm using Hardee's WIFI for now.
But all is good on the homefront, and I've squeezed in a bit of sewing time lately. Here are the photos of my finished Orange (Aqua/blue/green) Peels quilt top. It measures 77 x 94, bigger than the wide backing that I purchased for it months ago, so I'll be re-shopping for a back.
It's going to be quite a job getting this one basted out on the covered carport, so I'm waiting and watching for a nice, warm, still day.
Beautiful!!!...kinda makes me want to attempt a "peel" quilt...please share more about it, did you hand-applique or ???...thanks!
ReplyDeleteI’m glad you like it. And sorry that I didn’t have time for a detailed post. I cut squares from various white and grey fabrics for background squares, starting out at 5 1/4 square, then after needle turning/hand appliqueing the peels to them (basted on) , I trimmed all the squares to 5 1/8 inches. This left the peels not quite touching at the points, which made for easier machine joining, but still close enough to present an all-over continuous design.
DeleteLet me know if you have any further questions. And thanks for stopping by.

Oh!!! I love this one!! So calm and soothing.I like how you used the low volume fabrics as the background. I need to make a blue and green quilt someday!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful quilt! God has certainly blessed you with a creative talent.
