I just finished quilting a quilt that made me a bit nervous, but the end product looks pretty good, if I don't say so myself. My customer brought the quilt and the picture of the pattern and wanted it to be quilted exactly like the picture....I was worried, but it is fairly close. Thought I'd share a few pictures....
When I first started this....I can tell you that I was so nervous that I was sweating bullets, but as soon as I started quilting....it just came together so nicely. I am a free-motion quilter, I do not have patterns or computer generation, so you will see that it isn't perfect, but it still flows together nicely. This quilt took about 3 days of working to get it finished....and I did rip out one of the points of the star that I felt just wasn't up to snuff. All in all -----it is all about TRYING!!! So get going girls!!

You did a wonderful job on the quilting. Congratulations on facing your fear and winning.
ReplyDeleteYour quilting looks great and I think free motion is the way to go.
