And while I'm talking about flowers, it's a good time to introduce you to "Floral Fantasy". This is our raffle quilt for the Bits 'n Pieces Quilt Guild. It was made by a sub-group called The "A-Team", of which I am a part. The A stands for Applique, naturally. These blocks are all done by the needle-turn technique. We have around 20 in our group when everyone comes to our monthly meetings.
I showed you a few pictures of the quilting from the back on an earlier post and now, as promised, here are a few more from the front. I'll be showing a picture of the whole quilt later, but because of it's size 97" x 110", that shot doesn't even come close to doing it justice. It's best seen up close and personal.

Oh my goodness! I love the hexies. But that quilt and the quilting is just totally amazing. I love how the four circles are quilted really amazing.
ReplyDeleteWow! Those blocks in the raffle quilt are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful! I confess that applique stresses me out, at least needle turn. The only thing I can manage is machine applique.
ReplyDeleteI didn't realize you were getting on the hexi band wagon? This quilt is even more stunning in person! The A-Team gets an A+!!!!
ReplyDeleteWow, that is a gorgeous quilt!!!!!
