I finished off Sulky Village this week. I wrote about it earlier HERE . I just couldn't settle on the proportions of 30 x 48 with the letters attached at the bottom. So, I removed that bit and used it for the handing sleeve on the back. The top was made waaayyy back in 2004 when I didn't have a stash variety of prints or colors. It is entirely paper pieced back in the day when I was just beginning my quilting journey. The hanging rod is only 24inches, so it's a bit gathered at the top when hung this way.
I free motion quilt on a Janome Versa 18 sit down. I opted to stitch an allover design looking like water waves for a quick finish. I used Superior bottom line thread in the top so it wouldn't show up too much. It finished about 30 x 40 now. I am SO SO ready to get into my box of christmas fabrics !!
Here is a pile of close up pics. There is lots of detail in those little pieces of fabric.

I love this new version! Love the details too, and one of the background fabric has cute tiny little red birds ;) It looks like your are ready for Christmas! Thank you for sharing this lovely finish.

ReplyDeleteYep, there are a lot of details in that quilt. You must have worked really hard especially as it was paper piecing. Congrats on a UFO finish!
