Back on 12th March 2015 I posted about the twister (whirly gig) patchwork that we had done at Franklins Patchwork Group. Whilst sorting through my Round-tu-it box I came across these unfinished pieces. Whilst the Brother Innov 10 was set up for quilting the Swoon Baby Quilt, I decided to get yet another unfinished project out of the way.
I have quilted the two placemats differently. One has a straightforward grid quilting in the ditch and the other I experimented with quilting 1/4 ” away from piecing seams to highlight the individual twisters. Both styles of quilting have pros and cons, I don’t really have a preference but another time I think, for speedy completion, I will stick with “in the ditch” grid lines. The binding is a pretty floral print that came as part of a set of Fat Quarters bought in Hobbycraft. Whilst the print is charming I am very disappointed with the quality of the fabric. It is very thin so the remaining FQ’s will be kept back to use as bindings on small projects only.
Thanks very interesting blog!
