If you remember back to THIS post, I played with the Drunkards Path block for my DQS12 swap quilt.
I ended up hand quilting with black Perle 8 cotton.
I’m just a little bit addicted to hand quilting at the moment.
I wasn’t sure if I liked it, so I made another one – this time a circle of geese, which was so much fun to make.
I used the free pattern from www.piecebynumber.com.
Black solid prima homespun cotton for the background with Hoopla for the geese.
I hand quilted in a bright pink perle 8, which really stands out on the black fabric. This photo really doesn’t do it justice.
I still wasn’t sure which one I like better, so thought, why not make a two sided mini quilt?
My partner can change it around, depending on her mood :-)
Black binding finished it off. I’m pleased with the result.
I hope my partner likes it too.
This looks great. The idea of having it double sided works so well. I hope your partner is over the moon about it!
ReplyDeleteIt looks awesome! The circle of flying geese is one of my fav blocks!
ReplyDeleteThis quilt is adorable. I think your partner will have trouble deciding which side to display.
ReplyDeleteWonderful. I'm sure she will like it. I know that I would.

ReplyDeletewow! they both look great, like a reversible table topper.... what a great idea to have one on each side.... love the quilting
ReplyDeleteI love both of them! Your partner will be thrilled especially since she can flip it over to have a "new" wall hanging.

ReplyDeleteGenius! Love your hand quilting.
ReplyDeleteYou're so clever...wish you and I lived closer so we could have sewing days and I could learn so much from you. I bet your partner loved her double sided quilt. Fantastic work....my favourite side is the flying geese...spectacular.
