It is only a very small quilt (approx 12" x 15") but there is a lot to look at and the pebbling in the background adds a lot of texture which I am not sure the photographs show very well.
The backing fabric and binding are both cotton print fabrics and I wasn't sure how well they would all work together with the wool, especially for the quilting but, I needn't have worried because the quilting went quite smoothly. This is what the back looks like.....
It was quite difficult quilting close to the circles as some of them stand quite proud of the background fabric making it a bit awkward to quilt evenly.
If you look closely you will see a few quilting 'wobbles' but overall I am very happy with it.
I did have a bit of a panic when I was hand stitching the binding on the back as I suddenly heard a little noise which sounded suspiciously like a bead falling to the ground. I turned the quilt over to see that there was a bead missing from the middle of one of the circles (I must have squashed it with my ruler when I squared everything up.)
Anyway, I replaced it and I am hoping it isn't too obvious where it was. What do you think?
Hi Christine,wow this is amazing ,it looks awesome,well done my friend.
ReplyDeleteDas glaube ich gerne, dass du dich freust. Die sind aber auch alle ganz wunderschön geworden!

Gorgeous! Love the circles and the background sets them off wonderfully!
ReplyDeleteSo nice and lovely wool circles !
ReplyDeleteLight green and blue together is special too :o))
( In my kitchen I have this two colors for the first time ( of my live :o))last year i found the green and blue spoon placement)
Wow, this is so pretty! Love the background quilting. I cannot see where you replaced a bead, but I know it must have been a scary moment. It happened to me when I was quilting an Easter quilt with sequins and one of the sequins broke when I was moving my hoop.
ReplyDeleteThank you Annet! I had such a lot of fun working on this project and I was just thankful that the bead was easily replaced! Christine x

ReplyDeleteLiebe Christine,
ReplyDeletewas für ein schönes Meisterstück, ich bin richtig begeistert. Applizieren mit Wollstoff steht auch schon seit längerem auf meiner to-do Liste. Bisher waren für mich noch viele Fragezeichen bei diesem Thema vorhanden, ich glaube ich traue mich demnächst auch einmal.
Liebe Grüße

I don't have a clue where that pesky bead has been replaced--everything looks perfect! You did an awesome job with the pebbles too! Happy stitching!
ReplyDeleteStunning, love the background quilting, it lifts the whole thing even more into 3D :)
ReplyDeleteA really lovely finish Christine. You should be very proud of your self...Doti.
ReplyDeleteLots of little things to marvel at with each little circle. It is quite a treasure. Clapping for your wonderful finish! Janita
ReplyDeleteWhat bead! Ha...ha... Love it with the pebbling.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on an amazing finish Christine! This one would have taken me ages, and your stitchery looks just perfect! The quilting looks fantastic, btw. Regards! Ariadna.

Your circles are so pretty, Christine! A great job!

I can't see where you replaced the bead. And this is one of my favourite projects that you've made (and not just because it makes me hungry!!).
ReplyDeleteI can't find the bead replacement. ;) I love this finish so much!
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty finish that is, Christine! I love all the handstitching you did on the wool circles, incouding the beading!
ReplyDeletewell done, it looks fantastic! No one will EVER notice the replaced bead!
ReplyDeleteLooks pretty perfect to me! I adore it!
