Quilting the Week of New Years

There was hand quilting this week. I've never yet made it all the way across the quilt in one week on Floral Triangles. This week is the closest I've come.


Right side border, notice the white diagonal lines change direction on the right side of the red flower. This is the center!





This stem fabric isn't my favorite but the black does add brightness to the quilt.
I use a blunt point scissors when I'm quilting. I don't like sharp pointy scissors on my quilt.
I'm ready to start quilting the last applique triangle in this row.

    So glad to see there are still some hand quilters out there. I love hand quilting and the look you get can not compare to any machine quilting. Your quilt and quilting is lovely.

    Gorgeous! And that's probably a good tip...use blunt scissors while hand quilting.

    This is beautiful. There is so much to admire in each picture: the fabric, the piecing, the quilting. The finshed quilt will be absolutely stunning!

    Your hand quilting is beautiful, and I love 30s fabics. What kind of betting are you using?
