OMG: That's A Swirl
I completed my January One Monthly Goal and even had one day to spare!
I designed this quilt about 18 months ago. I convinced my mom to make it for me--so much cutting!!
She pieced it and then it sat in my "to be quilted" pile for too long. Now it's done!
Here's a close-up of the quilting. Because it's raw edge applique, I wanted to close as close to the edges as I could, without doing something like a zig zag stitch. That would be a lot of zig zagging!
For the swirls themselves, I followed the swirl pattern with free motion quilting--which is why the lines aren't anywhere near perfect! For the background, I used pebbles. The quilting obviously shows up more on the white than the prints.
Now to write the pattern...
