A while back I finished seam-ripping all of my horrific stippling on the Rainbow Quilt. Horray. I have slowly been working my way back from there. In the end, I decided to try a new style of machine quilting on it (not sure what it's called) but I think the look was just right to balance out all the geometric-ness of the colored blocks. Here I am finishing that up last night:
...and a close-up of what it looks like. Still wavy lines (which are fun) but in long rows instead of randomly wiggling all over the place like ocean coral.
This is how it looks from the backside. Ahh, like ocean waves. So tranquil and soothing...
...just kidding! It's quite BOR-ing, especially the back. I realize that this type of quilting looks rather amateur, but for some reason I'm ok with that for now. It works for me on this one. It has become apparent that you really can't appreciate this blanket until it's in person. The photos take all the vibrancy out of the colors (maybe I'll photograph it in daylight next time???) and the back is soooooo soft, which of course you'd have no clue of that by the rotten pic above. Next I will do the absolutely-darling-polka-dot binding, and then it's DONE!
And by the way......... guess who turned THREE yesterday???
Happy Birthday Mister P :)
