One Block Wonder with Floral Master Fabric

Here are a few more photos of this quilt.  I used this weird lighting to highlight the quilting.

OBW is finished !

I finished the binding this evening. I just have to make the label for it. The name of this quilt is Lucy in the Sky.

Quilting is progressing nicely on OBW

I cut out these triangles in May of 2011 while I was in France taking care of my mom who was very ill.  I came back and put the triangle sets in a drawer.

I pulled them out last month, designed and pieced the quilt, and now I am quilting it.

Most of the center is done and it is going quickly. It's so busy that I'm not afraid to make a mistake. I've also experimented with a stencil which I've never done before.

Quilting of One Block Wonder

I started quilting the purple OBW last night.  My first idea was to do SITD (stitch in the ditch) around each hexagon and leave it at that.  I didn't want to put on the SITD foot, as I would have to turn the quilt six times for each hexagon.  So I started doing it with my FMQ foot.  It was not easy going in a straight line.  After about six blocks I said to heck with it and started to FMQ. 

I am pretty much doing a different FMQ design in each hexagon.  I hope it won't all get lost in this busy quilt but, for me, FMQ is much easier and more fun than SITD.   Here are a few examples.

OBW Quilt top finished

This is a project I started to make last year with a group on the Quilting Board. We all used the same fabric, which is called Floral Master by Springs Creative Products Group.

This was my first one block wonder, and I enjoyed making it. It actually went very quickly.

I need to get a little bit more fabric for the backing and then I'll start quilting.

I'm quite pleased with the way it turned out, even though didn't think I'd like these colors.

I have finished the top and will shop for border fabric today.  Here is a photo of the top with auditioned borders.
