Quilt stage 2



The triangle pieces have been 505'd to the base fabric (above) , tacked down and removed from the frame.
I am now at the stage of putting on the surface embellishments. Need to get this right after all this work. I keep sitting and looking at it and worrying about spoiling it. Have sponged some gold fabric paint on parts of it - the sparkle in the sand.

Tomorrow my OH is off at 5.45am!!! to the Rally show at the NEC. He engineers and pit crews for a rally team so I will have the day to myself.

Should be able to machine the joining patterns between all the triangles and hopefully some digitised images. It will be a 'go with the flow' job - each stage determining the next. So.. fingers crossed.

Thanks Vivien for suggestion re hedge - left, right or centre???

Hi again :)

answer to your query:

I'd say a third of the way across from the left - not right as that would be in line with the sheep

I look forward to seeing this completed it should be a goodie :)

HI Shirley
This is looking fabulous, the colour and design work superbly together, and the triangles are the perfect shape! Can't wait to see the next stage.
I agree with Vivien re the hedge, I knew it needed something , but didn't know what to suggest.
Ben's going to the Rally show on Sunday with his Dad but he doesn't know yet, so he'll be megga excited!
I take it 505 is like photo mount for fabrics?
Thank you for the info on the stamping I'll go and get some funky foam. Ben would love it! Save us trying to score corks to print with like last night, I ended up cutting my thumb quite badly with the Stanley knife! Not good!
Thanks for dropping by my blog, are you still a member of CTDG?
