Wendy's Longarm Quilting, Thunder Bay, Ontario

Ingrid’s Stars

Another welcome splash of colour! The green background of this quilt had me thinking of the beautiful early spring greens that emerge and delight us here in North Western Ontario after waiting all winter… (despite our unusual winter weather this year I am not convinced that winter has forgotten us)

Bethanne Nemeshes Pantograph Feather Grande was chosen and worked beautifully appearing as a background fill.

Using a finer thread weight in a colour that not only blended with the back ground but also almost disappeared on the stars and borders (the prints) enhanced the stars appearance of floating on top of the quilt.

The backing was a perfect match for the quilt…both greens were not easy to capture with my camera but with patience I was able to come very close.

The quilt was trimmed and ready for binding at pick up.
