orange peel free motion quilting

::Quilt and Bound::

November 17, 2011 By Katie

I managed to finish quilting two quilts this week.

Leftovers is traditional in design and quilting.  The only modern flare really is the fabric.

I’m hooked on the orange peel for the charm squares and have a grey, cream and white one like this in my head already.

I’ve thought about adding an extra loop to the peels or going on the diagonal next time I do a baby size quilt.  Something more manageable than this twin.

So now I’m onto binding options.

The backing has a hit of green in some of the butterfly wings that I thought I would emphasize.  The backing is perhaps one of my favorite fabrics ever.

I’m leaning toward this Katy Jump Rope print even though there isn’t any of it in the quilt.  Not sure how I missed that.

::Charmed Quilting Starts::

November 10, 2011 By Katie

A day off with nothing to do but quilt (not until kid duty at 3pm at least).

D-R-E-A-M-Y.

For some reason, I quilt faster in my head than in real life, but I’m not complaining and certainly admiring the five columns I was able to finish today.

Hell, I’m a 1/3rd of the way there.

If I’m ambitious then I should be done around Sunday, in between those sessions called work.

Whoops, unless I keep skipping peels in my orange peel quilting.

I’m still working on my corner to corner rhythm, I seem to make it to the middle and stop.  I’m sure I’ll have it down by that 15th row.

Happy Wednesday.

With the state of affairs this year our escape to the wild has been one of voyeurism via tv and part of my morning routine is folding up all the quilts and fluffing the pillows to set the couch right for the evening. Wild will have to wait, but hopefully not much longer.
