My little quilt finally made it to its new home in Florida with Calamity Kim so I'm free to share all the pictures with you now.
It's amazing how much it completed the quilt to add those little red and orange rhinestones for the eyes. It tied back to the little red accents elsewhere. As soon as they were in place I knew it was done. The wings are fairly delicate for mailing so I had to tape a plastic cup around them for shipping. LOL Go here for the closeup of the illustration of the lady.
I tried out some new free motion quilting patterns but it still feels a bit wonky to me. I think that I need to make some quilted squares and just practice for a bit. Now looking at all the pictures, I realize that I should have driven to the beach so that I could photograph it in the sand, not the backyard grass. So if you compare the finished quilt with my sketch, do you think they match up?
Well that's it for the last round of the Four Seasons Quilt Swap. Once again, thanks go out to Margaret, the swap hostess with the "mostest". This was a great experience.
