I’ve finished my Pantone 2013: Emerald Quilt Challenge mini quilt and I’m very happy with it.
As it’s name Réalt Glas means Green Star in Gaelic, I decided to quilt some wandering clover on the grey Essex linen. It’s not my first time free motion quilting but it’s still rather wobbly and I realise that I have to practice a lot more. I used the same grey Aurifil 50wt (2605) that I used for piecing.
Except for the centre, the star (stars?) itself isn’t quilted. I did stitch in the ditch around the grey pieces but left the green pieces alone. I could tell you it was because I wanted them to stand out but in reality it’s because the inner star was too pouffy and I was worried that I would have lots of little pleats if I quilted it.
The pattern tweaking is still going on for this but I should be finished by this weekend. All I need then is a little help from Master to turn it into a PDF file.
Beautiful. I love the colours.
This is great. I can see myself making an entire quilt of these blocks. Love it!
Been following your progress on twitter, it’s gorgeous, looking forward to seeing the pattern.
Love love love this…. Would love the pattern… Stunning quilt, great work!
Love your mini quilt!
And I’m still impressed by your hand stitching skills!
Great pattern!
Absolutely beautiful.
Looks really intricate – great job!
Nice job – I find it so hard to sew in the seam. You did it so well
Super quilting! It’s turned out beautifully!
I love it!
Very nice!
Great design, it gives a lot of motion. Thanks
I really like this – especially your wandering clover quilting and scrappy binding!
It’s very pretty. Lovely quilting, too. Good luck!
