It feels so good to get back to the Happy Scrappy quilt. I'm nearly finished. This sewing session I completed the concentric circle quilting. This pattern is by Guicy Guice. I received it in a previous month's Quilty Box.
I quilted concentric circles about an inch apart using this pretty variegated thread; it's #305, Poly Quilter, by Superior Threads. As you can see, every now and then I stitched a machine embroidery motif for fun.
But mostly I just went around, and around, and around with a standard straight stitch.
I wanted to take a quick clothesline pic of the quilted Happy Scrappy top. The wind picked up and Trail Mix did a casual photobomb.
More wind, and Trail Mix casually strolling away to investigate something else.
Another big gust. I love windy quilt photos. It makes the quilt seem "alive".
Now I'm ready to make some binding. I like to sew binding that matches the outer border, but in this case my outer border is a multitude of colorful triangles. What color should I bind with? Please leave your suggestion in the comments. Thank you.

This is a great quilt and circular quilting was a nice touch.
ReplyDeleteI love this pattern. Your version is awesome. Good call on the circle quilting.
ReplyDeleteI love the circle made with what my son would call a "fancy stitch!" Super cute!
