This is possibly the second or third quilt that I ever made. It has languished in a closet for almost ten years. Thank goodness that Judy pulled the number for the April UFO challenge.
It's twin size so I didn't want to quilt it on my DSM. I've shared a Tin Lizzie with two friends for about 4 years now and STILL I never tackled it. I was stalled on how to quilt it. That is what ALWAYS stalls me. I lack so much confidence in my quilting except for stippling -- I can do that all day. This quilt seemed to want some bugs. It didn't get all the bugs it needed or wanted but it did get a bunch of curlicues and butterflies.
There's a big butterfly in the yellow jar. There are also lots of threads -- OOOPS!
So this post is a twofer: April UFO and Design wall Monday. Hop over to Jusy's to see what other's are doing.
Congratulations on getting this "vintage" flimsy finished! Woooo hooo!!!
ReplyDeleteIt looks great. I just want to tell you the quilting is super! Keep on quilting, you have to just get more confidence that you can do it. What I did was force (encourage) my parnter in our long arm (my Mom) to quilt all summer last year. Once you do a million stitches you realize you know more and can do more than you ever thought possible. Enjoy the process!!
ReplyDeleteGood for you for not giving in to your fear - keep going. Now you can go on to quilt #3!
