Purple Quilt part 2

 This is a quilt I've been working on for my step-mother (boss at work). I've made gifts for my father but I don't think I've given Goldie anything that I've made. I'm very grateful for her taking care of my father all these years and especially now that he is over 80.

 I'm doing this quilt in 4 sections because it is so big. I think each section is 40" x 50". This section is quilted in a spiral circle. I used a walking foot but it isn't very smooth.

 This section I free-motion-quilted each square. Some squares I just followed the pattern on the fabric. Others I did swirls or feathers and other designs.

 This section I did all over swirls. It is the first time I did swirls. Hopefully they will get better.

This is the back of the 4th section, I did circles that I feathered around and inside.








This is the whole quilt. I haven't sashed them yet. I laid them out and discovered that I put one border on wrong. "AHHHH!" If it wasn't quilted already I'd fix it. I've decided that I'm going to add a thin light border and a thicker green border to try and make up for the mess up. I think I'll do kind of a wish-bone or ribbon candy sort of quilting on the borders.

Next time I do a full size quilt I'll lay it out before I start quilting. Lesson Learned!
