Natalie's Mystery Quilt...quilted by Charisma
Natalie sent me this quilt for LAQ.
I was stumped for a couple weeks. I couldn't think of how to quilt it. It was so soft and sweet ....all the beautiful 3 Sisters fabrics...I pulled it out ..studied it...thought about it.....studied it.
Sometimes this happens to me....(well all the time)...usually on my own quilts...( well some of them).
I knew I wanted to bring out her chain ..she had chosen a very light color that kind of blended in with her background color..I knew I could highlight those with quilting to make them stand out a bit more. I used Continuous Curves on teh chain...those petals or clam shells in the background....little feathers in each corner..block work.
Natalie doesn't know the name of this pattern...it was a mystery quilt she made years ago and didn't love it until now..YAY!
Thanks for looking! We apprecaite that!
