This one uses both the turquoise prints with silver highlights, and has a lovely, glittery sheen. I'm thinking of using silver thread to quilt the stars.

Another star
I've just finshed piecing the quilt top, and am about to sandwich it ready for quilting - after I collect Eleanor from her kindergarten visit and James from his first school excursion (they went on the train to the Adelaide Botanic Gardens). They'll both need a good nap once they've had some afternoon tea, which should eb plenty fo time to sandwich and start quilting. I still haven't settled on a quilting design yet, though I do have a few ideas. It can't be anything too complicated, because I'm running out of time! In the meantime, here's a third star:

Silver thread would be perfect! I saw a quilt with snowflakes at the longarmer's being done that way, and the effect was really, really neat.
ReplyDeleteI was going to suggest quilting snowflakes with silver thread, but LynCC said it first.
ReplyDeletesounds like a perfect quilting solution. How big is the final quilt going to be?
ReplyDeleteWhat can I say, this is absolutely stunning! Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteHave a super great sewing and stitching day.
