Hand Quilting
Sorry for the silence lately but I have been sewing, sewing, sewing, in preparation for Market - mostly on the machine, but a little by hand. I love the look of hand-quilting and should do it more often.
Last night I hand-quilted around this Desden block with 12 wt. thread. I used a slightly darker green in the center and a vivid pink around the block itself. I love how the pink contrasts with the green striped background. I love it and wish I had used heavier thread, but time is of th essence and 12 wt. is what I had.
Next I need to quilt this...
I am thinking purple or green in the center circle and maybe a light aqua around the Dresden. Or maybe pale green. Your thoughts?
Happy sewing!

Looks wonderful! I like purple for the center and light aqua around the Dresden!
Ditto, even though green is my favorite color! Beautiful sneak peeks :)
I know you havn't mentioned this combination, but I think the dark blue in your print around the circle and the dark purple around the dresden, would really stand out. I just love all those prints you are giving tease peeks of!!!
These are so very pretty! I would love for you to add them to my blog's linky party: http://koolbeenz-blog.blogspot.com/2011/05/funky-fresh-friday-6.html
