A sneak peek

Two posts in one day! Just to give you a peek of the "white" quilt. I finally finished marking it and got it loaded yesterday. Today I started quilting it. It took me a total of 8 hours to get it marked (98" x103") Normally, I do very little, if any marking. But this quilt is mostly white space so it had to be marked completely.I've just started quilting the motifs in these photos: there is still a good bit of background fill to do.
When I finished marking it, I wasn't too sure if I would like it. But what a difference getting that thread in there! I'm thinking now it's going to be OK.

Betty, if you're reading this don't worry about the blue marks...I'm removing those as I go.

Have a great night!

    It looks awesome!! I'm curious, Deb, where did you learn how to do this? (in other words I want to learn how to do this!!)

    Thanks. Deb to answer your question...I buy every book that comes out and I doodle constantly. Then I stitch out designs on charity quilts. After that, I can pretty much do it.

    I'm with the others, can't wait to see the finished result!! Beautiful!

    I also worry about using the blue marker, too. I've seen too many quilts where the marker was not washed out properly and then turn brown in the heat.

    This quilting looks so lush, something like hawaii quilt without the appliqué. It is gorgeous. Hope to see more soon. Take care.

    You 'think' it will be O.K.? It's already way more than O.K. - it's gorgeous!

    I needed Harry with me in that hotel room in Antigua :-)

    It's already beautiful Deb and I bet will be a show stopper when finished.

    Love the cat tales and am glad Harry is better!
