That is the wedding ring block quilted…
…which leaves me with a 9″ border in a 100″ square quilt yet to be tackled. My calculator tells me that is 3276 square inches to be done. Am dreading it because it is on dark fabric and I shall not really be able to see what I am doing if I quilt with dark thread as I was planning to!
Quilting on yet another block completed today!
Here are some close ups of the quilting on Southward Bound, which was the seventh block of the Dreamcatcher Round the Year Quilt.
I used the walking foot to ‘stitch in the ditch’ all the needles and the inner circles.
I debated if I needed to quilt the middle ( blue) offset circle, but decided against that.
I am getting the hang of free motion quilting now! I am absolutely certain that you cannot get good results ( as a beginner, at least) if you do not use good quality thread and needles. For this block, I used a Schmetz needle and Sulky threads and the difference it made was amazing!
A picture of the back will give a better idea o the quilting on the wedges!
This was a block which was more difficult to draft than to put together! Would you like to make your own 18″ block? You could make a mini quilt with a single block or even frame it! The free pattern is available here.
You could do a really modern version to , like I have done, in ‘Rainbow’ colours. As soon as I finish this quilt, I will start putting together the Rainbow Dreamcatcher too!
Here is the full block!
I move next to the Winding Ways Block. Mulling over how I shall tackle that!
