After a long hiatus I’m back to quilting my Boston collage quilt. This week I’ve been working on the long purple brownstone on the left side. This quilt is so heavy and stiff from all the fusible web that it’s nearly impossible to turn. I try to quilt in one direction without turning so that means lots of starts and stops. That’s not ideal, but easier than turning.
You can see what I still have to do based on where the safety pins are. I started designing this quilt almost 4 years ago. I hate when quilts make you feel guilty for that long. Time to get it done. I will never make a building quilt that large again. Someone talked me into the size. I forget who that was! Maybe it was me…..
Thanks for reading.

This is absolutely amazing work! I give you a lot of credit for the design and the size and the "sticking to it" to get it done!
ReplyDeleteWell, one thing for sure - quilts of a larger size get more attention from the big exhibits/contests like AQS and Houston. And that is exactly where this quilt should be entered when you finally finish it. :-)
ReplyDeleteAs IB says, this is a stunning quilt and you have to enter it everywhere. Good luck with the weight lifting and have the voltarine at the ready! LF
