On Point

February has been such a busy month!

I have been quilting for Marilyn for many years, her use of colour always amazes me.

This quilt using the basic nine patch makes it very easily a beginners quilt, however setting it on point gives a much more interesting look.

I find working on my customers quilts who are utilizing their stashes to make amazing scrap quilts so inspiring…and lessons the guilt that I sometimes feel about my stash!

Not really, I love my fabric stash! It brings me joy!

The black border with the pops of colour, is such an interesting contrast to the centre of her quilt.

Have you heard of bobbin chicken? It’s when you realize you have finished a seam or project and had barely any bobbin thread left! Well I won at backing chicken on this one!

I chose the pantograph Star Swirl for this quilt…notice the tiny stars in the background fabric and then there were also stars on the backing! This is such a softly flowing design with a perfect density for a quilt with a lot of piecing.

Trimmed and ready for binding!
