| Freehand Quilting The Bluebirds |
I was hard at it yesterday, quilting on my bluebirds. I spent hours quilting a meander pattern around the main block that will highlight my birds.

| Border Details |
The meandering was the easy part for me. I'm working on the borders now. I've done a straight stitch "in the ditch" (along the seams) for the straight borders. Those were all complete, leaving the half square triangles. By dinner I'd completed two sides of the wall hanging. I have two sides and corner details to do before I've finished the quilting. Once that's done, all that will be left is to trim the excess, bind, attach my hanging sleeve and my label.
I work today, so I know I won't get it all done until tomorrow...My Birthday! It will be a perfect day to finish this piece! Then I can really celebrate!
I love he swirly pattern.
ReplyDeleteIt's looking so pretty.

Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI love that first photo because it shows the dimension of the birds so well. You should be so proud of this one and the quilting is showing it up beautifully. Can't think of a better way to spend a birthday than finishing up such a great project!
