May's quilt


This one is so cute! May painted and embellished each picture block. To give it an old fashioned 'puffy' look, May used high loft poly batting (a bit tricky under the longarm!). It needed minimal quilting or it would have flattened it too much. A pretty trailing heart around the sashing and ditch quilting in the block borders did the trick.

May didn't want any quilting in the block backgrounds so she'll now sew a few more buttons and other embellishments to the blocks to stabilise the larger white areas. Very pretty and fun to do....
