Could I have finished my father-in-law's quilt by now? Probably. If I had gone with my original plan to just do an all-over quilting design on it. And I was going to do just that. But then I was looking at the quilt and was really feeling all those hours I spent in piecing the top. And I just couldn't do it. I've decided that I really need to do it "right"-- a design specifically for this quilt in hopes of truly enhancing all the piecing in it.
Unfortunately, this decision has put me rather behind schedule. I haven't even started quilting yet. But-- now I have a plan!
I made a printout of one of my photos and tried out ideas by penciling in the lines. Of the options I thought of, I like this one the best.
My husband has next week off from work, so I am hopeful that I can take some time and focus on the quilting. I'm kind of excited because I think it is going to be really cool!
Boy is this going to be amazing! I am sure your father-in-law will be ok with waiting for such a spectacular quilt :)
ReplyDeleteThat's going to be awesome.
ReplyDeleteIt will be very cool!
ReplyDeleteI love the quilting plan. It's going to add so much more than an all over design. Can't wait to see more photos.
