I quilted every other square with a different motif, although there is an echoing theme throughout. The borders were done with feathers, but still, just every other square. I had a great time quilting this quilt.
Charming Squares Quilt Specifications:
Size 92"L x 58"W
Pieced and quilted with lovely Aurifil 50wt (#5004) thread
Unfortunately used cheap high loft poly batting (won't do that again, even if the final quilt looks cool)
Design is my own, but not really original. Used a charm pack of Valerie Wells Wrenly and then cut some miscellaneous solids.
Today, I'm linking up with FMQ Project Friday, TGIFF, Link-A-Finish Friday, Can I Get a Whoop, Whoop and Finish It Up Friday

Great stuff all round - the colours and quilt, the quilting, the remarkable location to take the photos too and a willing helper. What more could you want?
ReplyDeleteYour quilt looks great I love the colours and the quilting! But I think the turtle is saying he wants a bigger one... :)
ReplyDeleteThe quilting looks awesome!! Have you ever use wool batting? Higher loft and really great to work with - and although there are those horror stories about washing, I have never had a problem and have never treated it any different than any other quilt. . . even dry it until it is dry.
ReplyDeleteWhat a creative photo shoot. Your hubs is my 2nd favorite quilt model, right after mine. BTW, love the quilt, too.
ReplyDeleteThat turtle definitely wants a quilt, just slightly bigger than yours, perhaps!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great photo shoot, Pat. The quilting isn't shabby either. What would we do without our husbands?
ReplyDeleteI love your various quilting and the pictures are awesome!
ReplyDeleteWhoa, your stitching is beautiful! And what a great idea for photographing the quilt. (Big turtle lover here.)

That turtle/tortoise is huge! I love the quilt back, and the quilting looks great. Thanks for linking up.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about the poly. I am currently quilting on it and finding it a bit annoying. Ha ha.
ReplyDeleteThe quilting is beautiful! That is a lot of variety to work toward.
