Hot off the long-arm yesterday and already in the mail to the quilter who will bind and label and see them to the veteran recipients.
They are both custom quilted with lots of ruler work
An Edge to Edge design would not have looked as nice I think, and although this took longer I like the result.
Ruler work again..........
and feathered border I call "under and over feathers that are really fun to quilt.
Working with rulers requires an extended base for the machine and of course takes much longer to do but these quilts would not have benefited from an "all over" design. In the first one I used a neutral thread and in the second a very pale blue. Quilter's Dream poly batting inside that looks and feels much like a cotton batting.
Nice work, Roslyn! Two people are going to be very happy to get these. I've seen how much they mean to the recipients.
