Quilt Top




Seed Packet Quilt.....by Red Brolly.....this top has been completed for a while, probably a couple of years....I just love the fabrics in this quilt, they are so happy.....I am going to source an appropriate backing and finish this off, not quite sure about the quilting...open to any ideas...????

  1. Peg it's gorgeous, love the fabrics you've used. I'm guessing your not going to quilt through the embroidery. If it were me and I'm not very adventurous with my machine quilting, I'd be stitching around each block, several times, or perhaps cross hatching, but not through the embroidery.

  2. Oh Peg, I'm speechless! This is one of the most pretty quilts I've every seen... I want to touch it sooo much - I must show my friend Dóra Dís the pictures, she will go crazy over your colors and embroidery - thank you for making my day brighter (I need it, it's so dark in Iceland at this time of the year)!

  3. It is grgeous, I would do the quilting between the blocks, not on the embroiderie blocks and than, maybe some flowers or such.

  4. I have an idea - send it to me - lol ! It's absolutely beautiful. I think simple quilting will be good too.

  5. Another beautiful quilt. Love the ginger pussy cat on the daisy block. Like Linda I'm also not very adventurous with my machine quilting so I would probaly cross-hatch or quilt in the ditch. The fabrics are so nice it probably doesn't need heaps of quilting.

  14. This is absolutely gorgeous. I am soooooo inspired to try a quilt like this. As for quilting it - I don't have a suggestion - but something that doesn't take away from the beauty of that stitchery.

    You are very talented and prolific!! You could pull all those quilts out of the cupboard and have your very own quilt show!!
