Never say “NEVER”!
- Fabrics, patterns and colors I did not like at all a few years ago are now my favorites.
- Techniques I thought I would never be able to do or enjoy, are now my favorites.
The quilt below is the proof. Our tastes change and I love this.
I finished this quilt and I enjoyed so much working on it.
Size: 38”x38” ( the flower sphere measures 30” ); at this size, it was easy to quilt it.
I would have loved to quilt it by hand, but this is something I think I will never be able to do (well, I just said the word “NEVER” again).
Nicely textured quilting, after I washed the quilt.
Since I started the Grandmother’s Flower Garden quilt for my mother, I keep thinking how to quilt it.
This motif was a “last moment” idea and I like it very much, I will quilt it on that quilt too (one more reason to finish that top soon!).
I like to quilt with light colored thread, it looks very nice on dark fabric.
When I first learned what a quilt is, I thought that the most important part of it is the top.
I was so excited about all the patchwork patterns, colors, and fabrics and I thought that a quilt doesn’t need anything else.
I thought that the quilting is just a stitching that keeps the layers together.
I understood that batting is necessary for bed quilts, to provide warm, but I couldn’t understand why to add batting to a table topper?
Yes, this happened in 2001! How silly on my part! Fortunately, I have made progress! And now I am happy that I can add this texture to a quilt top!
All the fabrics used for this quilt are from the “Fusions 5573” collection by Robert Kaufman.
199 pieces to baste on paper templates then to whip stitch. A lot of hand stitching, still a quick project.
As I sew most of the time by machine, I can’t believe that I say that a hand stitched project could be quick!
White backing to highlight the quilting.
Lovely! I just passed this post along to someone who was asking how to quilt hexies.

Your quilting is stunning, Geta. I hope to be half as good at FMQ one day!
Wow, how wonderful this quilt looks! It's really lovely that it has the effect of the hexagons bending with the circle like it was 3D. Thanks for sharing such an inspiring work!
Absolutely brilliant!
amazing!
Sweet Grandmother's Garden! I love it. Thank you for sharing…Judith, Texas
