I started quilting my Sherbet Pips Single Girl quilt this morning.
It was an interesting morning. I was up a little after 6, thanks to my oldest son. He was watching Batman with the volume blasting. Literally. I guess I can't blame him, we must've left the it up pretty high last night after we finished watching the King's Speech. Have you seen that, by the way? We really liked it.
Anyways, back to the quilt. I decided to quilt straight (ish) lines 1" apart running vertically down the quilt. I think it looks nice, I like the contrast against the curves. I worked on it for a couple hours before the younger two woke up, so I am almost halfway done. Finishing up the quilting and sewing the binding on the front is on my sewing agenda for the weekend.

ReplyDeleteLove the straight line quilting - I've been casting round for a good quilting pattern for my single girl since I finally accepted I probably won't get to hand quilt it any time soon.
ReplyDeleteLooks fantastic! I love your quilt, and with your quilting, it will be so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteOh I love this! I've been thinking about the Sherbert Pips for a while but haven't gone and made the plunge. But seeing this single girl quilt in that print sealed the deal for me. Well done! :)
ReplyDeleteIt is looking beautiful! I love the straight-line quilting-- it has a modern look that fits so well with the fabrics you've used. Sigh... yet another project I may have to add to the list. :P
ReplyDeleteLooks beautiful!!! I love straight line quilting, it has such a modern feel :)
ReplyDeleteI was totally sold on quilting in circles, like the pattern shows, but now you're making me want to quilt in straight lines! I just love the contrast between the curves and straights. I love this!!
ReplyDeleteI love it! Straight lines are my new crush.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I really, really like how this looks! It looks like you spray basted it... did that work good on a bigger quilt? I hope you get some time this afternoon to finish the quilting. :)
