i decided to really step outside the box on this one and do flower quilting. I had seen the idea on this
blog - which also just happened to be posted on my birthday of quilting big, loopy flowers!
I know the pictures aren't the best but the sunlight helps show the flower with the dark thread. I absolutely loved doing these and I seem to be a lot better at flowers than stippling...
I think I may try this on a bigger quilt if i take the chance and do some bright, fun fabrics even though i have a house full of boys! It went fairly fast too. It does
definitely use more thread and by the 3rd or 4
th loop the center of the flowers become stiff with all of the stitches. I would like to try this in a
variegated thread on a
child's shirt without any extra fabric, but just the stitches as the pattern -
hmmm....
