I have to post Kelly's quilt next. So many things to love about this! This is her son’s graduation quilt. He chose multiple elements from different pictures online and she put them together into this. The moon, crow, and fox are pieced and then appliquéd on. The rest is pieced.
She requested quilting to match each thing - something flora in the green (I did leaves), something to match birch bark, like horizontal lines (I looked up pictures and tried to imitate),
and something else in the night sky (how about swirls?), with outlining the fox, bird and moon with minimal quilting.
Each area needed a thread change in my opinion. Mossy Glide 60 is on the back. The front has mossy, navy, warm gray 4, black, cool gray 3, and lava, all Glide.
Finished product is AMAZING, Kelly!!
And how about that binding?! She brought it to me to sew on already measured, to match the color along the side so the picture on the front goes all the way to the edge! I used an invisible thread for that.
