| Look what my dear sweet husband sent to me at work yesterday! He's the BEST! |
 |
| I was inspired by Leah Day's post yesterday about stippling to give texture. |
 |
| I stitched some random lines and then stippled on a very small scale around them |
 |
| I was quite pleased with the effect. |
 |
| This was the last block. A simple loop de loop. I thought it was a tribute to finish with a very simple design! |
So my questions for Leah this week is regarding batting. What type of batting do you normally use? Do you use different batting for different types of projects? Without doing trapunto, which batting would best show off the quilting in the top block? (Sorry Leah if I'm asking more than my allotted questions)
Hopefully by next week I will have the quilt trimmed, the binding on and a mosaic of all the different blocks.
Other projects this week include creating a block and writing a tutorial. Woohoo, I'm guest blogging tomorrow for Melissa at Happy Quilting for tomorrow's Try New Things Thursday. I can only show you a sneak peak.

| The block is made from 3 jelly roll sized strips of fabric. |

Your FMQ is fabulous! Leah has been such an inspiration to so many of us trying to improve our skills.
ReplyDeleteWow, nice flowers!! And great quilting!!
ReplyDeleteI think I have said it before, but I will say it again...I'm really loving this quilt!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on finishing your sampler. And I love your textured quilting.
ReplyDeleteYour textured quilting looks absolutely fabulous! I'm very impressed Leah writes one day, and practically the same day you are putting it into practice. Brilliant!
ReplyDeleteYour texturequilting looks very good.
ReplyDeleteI love your quilt and the FMQ as well as the texturing looks great! Congratulations on getting it together. I'll stayed tuned to see the finished quilt! ~Jeanne
ReplyDeleteBeautiful job, Pat - I really like the texture that the stippling added to your piece.
ReplyDeleteThat's great! Congratulations on finishing your quilt, Pat. You must be so excited. I love the stippling for texture. I tried that on my quilt too after reading Leah's post. It came out good :-).
ReplyDeleteLove the texture with the stippling... I'm looking forward to your post at Happy Quilting! :-)
ReplyDeleteI love what you did with the texturing, I was inspired the same way. Perhaps as long as we use what Leah does, it counts? Congrats on completely quilting your quilt! Amazing job.
ReplyDeleteThere are absolutely no rules to link up guys - just post what you're quilting and any questions you have about it, even if it doesn't match up with the week's tutorial.
ReplyDeleteI love your sampler quilt Pat! Those funky batiks make me want to go cut up half my stash to make a similar quilt of my own!
Leah
