Voici Coney Island by Fig Tree & Company!I love how that quilt turned out! It's hard to believe that the top had been sitting, or would that be hanging, in a closet for so long.
It's such a great feeling when a quilt has been completed. For me, complete means the binding has been sewn.
No, it doesn't have a label, yet! I keep a yearly record of the starting and finishing date of my projects on a Word document. I began this system when I joined Stashbusters in 2007. I needed to know how many UFOs I had. It's amazing how much I get done in a year! Really!?!?
So, when I get in the mood, that's when I'll stitch a few labels on my embroidery machine. The mood just hasn't come on yet! lol
For those of you who, like me, wants to see the machine quilting up close....
I didn't do anything complicated. I used the square points on the cones as a guideline for my loops!I was going to do feathers on the sashing but...... I didn't like how they were turning out. So I croaked!
I just wasn't able to figure out how I would connect the feathers between rows. Given that each block is done in the ditch, leaving the sashing area blank just wasn't an issue for me.
Simple is good! ;o)
Thanks for stopping by! Have a great day!
It's beautiful, Carole.

ReplyDeleteLove it, love it, love it! I have had a huge affection for the Nosegay block for as long as I can remember. I would say that your approach to quilting this one was the perfect solution, it looks just great! Well done~
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, this is just beautiful! I've long wanted to try this pattern and I think the fabrics you chose work perfectly with it!
