Stitch by stitch....

Yesterday I tried to photograph my quilting progress on the red/white quilt. (BTW any suggestions for a better name for this quilt?)

I crawled on the floor on my knees, the fattest part of my body high up in the air. What my family calls "not a pretty site Mum", but still I couldn't take a good pic in which you can actually see the quilted lines :( It's either my photografing skills, my quilting, the thin batting or it's just not possible to photograph it. Judge for yourself!

Even on the back it´s not really clear to see what I quilted. Next time I´ll try a solid fabric!

I quilted increasingly bigger squares on point, following the diagonal lines of the patches, and 75% if the inner part is done. I´ll do some round shaped border design in the solid red borders and staight lines again in the middle border. I´ve been a good quilter, spending an hour or 2 every evening with an inbetween size 10 in my hands. I do hope I´ll finish this one soon, ´cause there are at least 3 new quilts in my head!

One of them is similar to the red-white, different lay/out, but the same blocks in BLUE and white. I found the perfect bright blue fabrics at my favourite store. The blues have just enough white and the whites just enough blue. I also like that the background is pure white. It makes the blues very bright and `fresh´.

Mamaspark´s Pam sent me a link to this great design: the Pie and Tart quilt.

She found it at www.honeysucklecottage.com.au and thought I might like it. In fact, I love it and I'm absolutely going to order this pattern. It would be great for my ever increasing dot and circle fabric collection!
