Field of Flowers

This quilt was started maybe 18 years ago?

I started hand piecing it and then sometime later I finished machine piecing the blocks.

I had one row joined and it went into retirement again.

I pulled it out last week, joined the top and quilted it.

Once again, I was not that happy with the quilting. Well, the actual quilting was OK but I think a more adventurous design would have done the quilt more justice.

I couldn't think just what to do, as the blocks are quite big, 15 inches.

But it is now finished and that was the really important thing.

I have some plans formulating for broadening my quilting expertise so stay tuned.

My next post will feature a quilt from very very deep in the archive.

Cheers
