Quilting Elegant Garden

Three more blocks have been quilted on Elegant Garden. The pictures are from the right side going toward the left side.


These blocks are from the second row of Elegant Garden.

I'm enjoying quilting these blocks, it's nice to see them all again.

It seems like the quilting is going fast but then this is a small quilt, 60" compared to the king sized quilt I had been quilting over the winter.

There are two more blocks in this row then I'll be starting the quilting on the center row. Maybe I'll have all the quilting finished in time to take along to my November retreat and display at show & tell.

All the fabrics in this quilt came from the civil war fabric tub, none were purchased, I guess you could say this is a scrap quilt?

I'm glad to see that Blogger has corrected whatever their problem was with updating. Have a great week with lots of stitching time!

Isn't it wonderful to revisit fabric and blocks as you are hand quilting them? These are so pretty.

I'm glad that you added the size of the quilt to this post because I wondered if you had found some way for your fingers to quilt while you were doing other activities! It must feel great to see so much progress! Your quilting is beautiful!

Η δημιουργία ενός quilt απαιτεί πραγματικά υπομονή και μεγάλη προσοχή στη λεπτομέρεια. Το σχέδιο του «Elegant Garden» έχει πολύ όμορφη συμμετρία και ο συνδυασμός των διαφορετικών υφασμάτων δίνει ιδιαίτερο χαρακτήρα στο αποτέλεσμα. Μετά από μια τόσο δημιουργική δραστηριότητα, λίγη διαφορετική online ψυχαγωγία μπορεί να βρει κανείς και στο https://baxterbet.com.gr/bonus. Είναι πάντα ενδιαφέρον να βλέπεις πώς ένα έργο εξελίσσεται κομμάτι-κομμάτι μέχρι την ολοκλήρωσή του.
