Leafy quilting

December 7, 2007

Here is another quilt I worked on recently. It was a fun diversion and allowed me to check that my problems with the shirt backing weren’t just to do with having a pieced backing. Isn’t it good when a customer is also a friend and you can say things like that. I really like the idea that the maker will be doing the artistic quilting while I just put in the background to hold it together. It is an interesting way of making use of a longarm quilter and I enjoyed it more than basting the quilt. I am sure I shouldn’t say this given my line of work but I do enjoy enabling people to do their own quilting. I hope I get to do more pieces like this.

    “Artistic quilting” might turn out to be a bit of an exaggeration, but I’m glad you had fun with it.

  2. That’s wonderful quilt … even unfinished. Your leaf quilting pattern is beautiful.

    Of course, I meant *my* quilting might not be artistic – Ferret’s is lovely, and really captures the essence of the pattern.
