It's that texture that I just love!!!!

Beth's quilt

So, Beth's quilt again! I absolutely love it! The quilt pattern is "Snowball" from a Kaffe Fassett book. This quilt is some more simple custom quilting, by "simple" I mean not as many things going on. It's simply, texturally great! I didn't want to take away from the design or the fabrics in this quilt. So, the following pictures will show you what I came up with.



Swirls, loops and straight lines for the borders.



Free motion straight lines with a curve going on here!





I stitched in the ditch every block and quilted connecting curves in the triangle/squares. They look fun, but they can take a while to do.



Oh, the back - I love it when I can see the quilting on the back. I ran my fingers through the texture of the quilting on this quilt a lot! I can't help myself. Now it is wrapped up, packed and ready to be shipped to Beth on the east coast!

  7. I agree - the TEXTURE is just so touchable -- I can almost feel it from here! Lovely, and inspirational, because I am going to be starting machine quilting in the next day or so.

  15. Stunning quilt! I love how you use KF fabrics (and fabrics this type). The quilting on the woven stripes makes them look totally different!

  22. Thanks SO much for posting your quilting in detail. I struggle trying to figure out how to quilt my quilts. While my skill level is well below yours, how you approach the different blocks is really a help for me to do my own. Thanks again!
