The Sky is Blue, the Sea is Blue

Today I made a little more progress on my own quilt. I stitched "Verona" over the boy, carefully removing about 100 pins as I went.

Then, the quilt came off the long arm machine, and into the bathroom.

Cold water, and gentle agitation for about 5 minutes removed all of the soluble Verona film.

A quick spin in the washing machine to remove excess moisture and then it is on the clothesline.

You can see that this will be a BIG quilt. (About 2.5m across and 2m high)

Here is a view of the back, showing some of the stitching. My other half said to me today: "How are you going to put the background in?" The answer is "I am not sure yet!" I think I will be able to attach large pieces of fabric - the background is quilt minimal. There will be some very intense quilting and some three dimensional "extras". Watch this space!

Judie's quilt

This is an original quilt designed by Judie from Brisbane. I finished the custom quilting on this quilt in late May.
