Before and After Quilting

 The first photo is a piece of a mini wall hanging.  The 1/4 inch hand quilting was just started.

The second photo shows the echo quilting completed on two triangle sections.  Hand quilting done with matching purple thread.

...And with the hand quilting added

I matched the thread to the fabric.  Quilting lines echo seams 1/4, 1/2 and 3/4  inch.  Applique pieces were quilted around the edge and 1/4 inch.

For the fish in the ocean, quilting lines were used to create movement of the water.  The fish, star fish and coral were defined with quilting lines.  The thread color matches the fabric.

Summer Wall Hanging

This is the corner of a beautiful group project. I am hand quilting and binding the piece. I am using 1/4" and 1/2" echo quilting to give some movement to the sand, sky and water areas.

Later I'll show a close up photo of quilting lines.

Tumblers

This is the beginnings of a large wall hanging. I began with 6" squares. I've cut a dark two " inner border and six" outer sage border.

The colors - sage, navy and beige.

This is a great stash buster project.
