This project has been especially challenging because it was a lesson in crafting my processes to become a better quilter. I have a long way to go before I can think about consider myself an artist in this field.
It was also a lesson in seeking others for help... in order to create a better end product. As usual, Mom and I traded lots of photos by text. Mom ALWAYS has great suggestions and ALWAYS encourages me to try something that isn't always first nature to me. She has been a fibre artist for a long time; why wouldn't I take advantage of her advice?
I also sought-out the opinions of my honey and some of my friends. One of the best decisions I made was to follow Judy's (Judy's Quilting Studio) recommendation to have this flimsy professionally quilted by Donna at Inthreadiblequilting.com.
I hope to have the binding on this quilt by the end of the week. My next (last?) post for this quilt will happen on my Completed Projects page.
It's a beautiful quilt!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Judy. I must pay respect to Donna for her patience and experience as we chose a stitching pattern and thread colour. Her skill also hid a couple of my mistakes... which is ALWAYS good in my books!
