Think Spring
These quilts were created with the help of Bill. We took several day
trips around the bay area to find the right scenes to photograph. We
took several dozen photos that we paired down to the 15 photos that we
used. After creating 100 plus dyed color samples bill and I picked the
7 colors for the quilt that we felt complemented the photos we chose.
I decided to try free motion quilting with these quilts. This would be
my first efforts at free motion and it did go fairly well. My machine
didn't always want to cooperate and gave me some problems with thread
tension, but over all I was happy with the results.
I Stitched in the ditch around each photo and did a gentle curve in the
mini checkerboard borders. Below are pictures of the quilt and some of
the quilting.
