I'm posting about a longtime UFO today. This is my Trailing Vines quilt started many years ago. A year ago I was working on handquilting it. Sometime around May I switched to working on a different project and this got left folded up and crammed in a basket. I was worried it might be getting some permanent wrinkles so I pulled it out to lay flat on the floor for a couple of days.
I really like this quilt. I loved working on the applique. But, I am not loving handquilting it. For one thing its huge, its also really, really heavy and to outline the leaves I am constantly turning my hoop. And then after all that effort - its hardly noticeable...
I'm done the first 6 panels. Only 7 more to go.
Also I need to quilt the sashings. I will finish it eventually.
This quilt - Hospital Sketches - has been way more fun to quilt. I love quilting feathers! It's lighter, smaller, easier to turn. I'm hoping to have it finished in a few months and then I will get back to Trailing Vines.
I whipped up a couple of coasters for a quick gift for Sinterklaas. I hadn't used fusible web in a very long time but the piece I had still worked. I drew them myself and I hope my parents use them.
A fun quick project between the long term ones.
Happy Quilting!!
