You remember the Challenge quilt don't you? You know, the one I've been yammering on and on about? One of the 'rules' (I prefer guidelines) was a completion date of Labor Day or Sept 3 2007.
Well, I almost made it. I have a complete top and a completed backing. Want to see some pictures? I'll give you a taste of the top. No more, because I want to enter this in some unknown show in the future and I don't know if the show rules will admit a quilt that has been publicly seen, so you all get just a tiny little taste.Now you know why I have so much 'other' fabric. This little guy's wings are made by using a garment fusible interfacing on the back of a tissue lame. The wings are satin stitched on with the Sliver.
Here's a photo of the full back. I think I'm safe in doing the back. I was left with a handful of my yard of Moda fabric.Next step is to sandwich and then quilt.
And before you ask: Yes, the design is my own original design.
Interesting back, I like it!!! Can't wait to see the front!!!!!
ReplyDeleteInteresting back, I really like it. The dtagon fly is adorable and I will wait to see the whole quilt. Sorry you didn't make the deadline.
ReplyDeleteI hope that future, unknown quilt show is coming soon, so we may see the front . . . in the meantime, I'd say the back is worthy of a front *s*
ReplyDeleteAwesome! I hope we get to see it in it's entirety sometime. The dragonfly is adorable, I know it's not easy to sew w/ sliver... you did well!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on finishing the top! The back does look really interesting - did you use sashing? It looks lovely enough to be the front - except for the missing applique. The dragonfly is cute too.
ReplyDeleteMine is almost done, just putting on the borders.
