I have my next UFO project up on the wall today. It's a pattern called
Thanksgiving from a book by Judy Martin called Patchwork Among Friends. I have 8 blocks done, and 8 more to do. Then there are the border units. It actually goes rather quickly, once I set my mind to it, and work at it steadily. I'm not going to set myself a time limit on this, but at the same time, it would be nice to have this one done by the end of the year.
And now, I'm, looking for some opinions. I've had my Grandmother's Diamond Ring down off the racks where my quilt tops are stored, and I'm trying to come up with a design for the quilting. I've got something laid on top of the quilt in this picture to the left. What do you think... is it too much for this quilt? Do you like it or do you have any other ideas? There would be continuous curves in the piecing. I'm not sure about the borders, yet.
I'm linking up to Judy's

I love your quilting idea! I think it would be fabulous.
ReplyDeleteVery nice leaf rings!
ReplyDeleteI like your quilting ideas. Very striking.
ReplyDeleteLove them both and look forward to seeing the finished products.
ReplyDeleteYour Thanksgiving blocks are beautiful. And I, too, love your quilting idea for your grandmother's quilt. I have a top my great-grandmother pieced and I want to hand quilt it, but have not started. Hopefully soon!
ReplyDeletePretty pretty leaves! Unique for sure. Nice choice for the quilting, plenty of texture but not overly dense!
ReplyDeleteI have trouble with the quilting ideas as well but I think your design looks really good!
ReplyDeleteCathy, I adore your 'Thanksgiving' -- it's really lovely! What a lot of work it looks like! :)
