church window-update #2
 

Update #1 was in my original thread.

Here is where I am now....but I have good news!!!

I think I have figured out how to do the leading without having to cut and sew down EVERY individual pieces. I am going to do or atleast for now "try to do" it in the same method as I did in the cut-out pieces here in the green scroll work.

I have a single black piece of fabric for the top center window ready to test when I get home from work.....COME ON 4 O'CLOCK!!

I will wait to post more when I get further along or when I am finished. Thank you all for words of encouragements and compliments.

It will be wonderful when finished.

Good work!!!

I will be interested in how you do the lead work. Everything is looking lovely.

very pretty!!!

looking great so far.
how about using a wide zig zag for the lead??

You are making such great progress. Just lovely.

This is marvelous and just heavenly!

Absolutely beautiful!

Are you doing needle turn applique.? How are you doing the background?

Such chi an inspiring and beautiful project, it is stimulating my creative juices for the first time in8 months.

Wow can't wait to see it finished :)

Can't wait to see how it works.

This quilt without a doubt will be a show stopper, I can't wait to see your finished work. I love your Quilt.

Sew very stunning

It's coming along so well.... Love it. Making such a large applique piece is a challenge and you're working through it magnificently. Keep the pictures coming..... great to see such progress.

You are doing great.

Lovely can't wait until finished

That makes me happy to hear that this project has given you a little inspiration after 8 months. Quilters block is no fun.


Yes this entire project at this point is needle turn appliqué, I am working from the inside out on every aspect of it. And the background will be as well because of the shape. Since I will only have to go around the outside of the panes to do the background layers, I think those will actually go pretty quickly. I say layers because there will be two, one will be a medium to dark brown to look like the window frame and a soft blue to look like the wall and allow me finish the quilt into a rectangle.

I just haven't figured out yet how I'm going to quilt it once it's all together. I originally was going to have the lead lines double as the quilting process but have realized with all the layering and the process I am using for the lead lines it wasn't going to be possible since I need the light box to help line things up. See update #3 for the sneak peek of that process.

Thank you. I can't wait til Friday at 4pm. By 430, I will be hitting it hard to make up for some lost time as I disnt make much progress today. I'll keep you updated.

looking fantastic!

WOW..........you have accomplished a lot since your last post! This will be amazing. Keep us posted with your progress.

Going to be very pretty. Can't wait to see the finished project.
