O.K. here's the story on this one. I bought a lot of fabric from the niece of a quilter. She died and the niece was selling her things. In the lot were several partially done blocks and block sets. There were a bunch of unpieced half triangles. So, I sewed them up into blocks. I added my own sashing and backing fabric. I quilted in the ditch and then did a flower on each block in a light blue thread. So, stability isn't a factor, it's sewn enough to be a wallhanging. I'm close to out of the cornflower blue thread, so I'd have to make a special trip to the LQS for more. Do you think I need more quilting or is it done?

I could always add more quilting of course, but I think it's fine as is? I don't want to detract from the flowers. I'm itching to bind it and call it a day..especially since it someone elses colors, fabric pick etc. I'm going to use some of this quilters fabric for the binding. I plan on sending a photo to the niece. I hope she likes it. I've got another quilt from this woman at the sandwiching stage.

I'd say done. Whatever your batting says about distance between quilting lines should be good. I think it'll hold up just fine without more quilting. BTW, I really like the quilt...the pattern, the colors and the quilting you did. Very nice!!

I think the quilting is perfect. What a cute quilt.

Very pretty, great job. If it were mine I would call it done (especially if more quilting meant you need to buy more thread, unless you want an excuse to go to the LQS, lol)

I love it just as is, you did an awesome job, very pretty

I think quilting is perfect too. Great quilt!

I'd call it done - I think anymore on it would detract from the great job you've already done.

I'd call it done as well!!

LOL. I guess not being able to see the stitch in the ditch quilting in the photos is the correct thing..it's so rainy today the photos are a bit dark. Sorry:< But, I'm going to wrap it up, or should I say bind it up! Then, I'll call it done:> Thanks for the opinions. My father's wife will love it for Christmas as she's a nut for anything blue.

A very nice quilt, with understated elegance.

The quilting is perfect!!
Great job!!

I think you are ready to do the binding. It looks great. :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

call it done

whats that saying..less is more? I think its beautiful as is. :thumbup:

I think you did a wonderful job on that quilt. There is enough quilting. It looks great as is.

I like it! Are the quilted flowers free hand - they really add alot to the quilt

Thanks everyone. I'll post a final photo. Hopefully better lit! This is a quilting embroidery off of one of my memory cards for the Janome 9000. I've never used this one before and thought it fit and went nicely in the block. I didn't free hand it.

I think it's beautiful and just rite!!

Beautiful.

So Pretty love the flower, it really sets it off

Done
And beautiful!
Kirsten

i think it is done, looks very nice

Do the binding a call it done! It's beautiful the way you have quilted it.

Looks fine to me. :thumbup:

I think it is perfect! NIce quilt.

just remember not all batting is created equal...some you need to quilt every 2" others quilting can be up to 12" apart, it all depends, so as long as you have the stitching as close as the batting requires it is done
it looks great! you did a lovely job :)

Thanks for the opinions. Binding done and it's ready to be put away until Christmas:>

It's gorgeous! I love the quilting!

Very pretty. The quilting in the center of the blocks makes an interesting, sparkly, design.

IF you think it is fine, then I would put a check in the "finished" column! I like the colors too! I think you did a great job of putting the finishing touches on someone elses work.

It really is a great looking wall hanging! Kudos!

I think its beautiful. DISHES ARE DONE!!! Time to move on to the next project. tee hee

Thanks much. It was probably about 5% her work and 95% mine. But, I can't stand letting cut triangles go to waste:>

I think this is beatiful. I like it just the way it is. I love the colors.

I love the quilt and think the quilting is great. I have seen some of the charity quilts at affairs that have so much quilting in them that they actually look very stiff instead of soft like a quilt should be. Don't get me wrong they are beautiful quilts! They just don't look like the kind you would feel warm and fuzzy under.

Love the colors - it's beautiful, and looks done to me.

I love the colors, the quilting is done, IMOH!!

wonderful work, and absolutely love the colors. Thank you for sharing. Penny

Candace, sometimes less is more, it looks nice just like that and your sashing and borders are a great compliment to the blocks. Enjoy your creation. It's lovely just like it is.

Thanks all. I washed it today and I like how it shrunk up a bit. It adds more personality.

I love the flower quilting and think that and SITD is plenty. Nice quilt! :)
