I am still working....

This is my finish today, a sampler. I don't get too many of these as the work I get tends to be a little more contemporary. So I decided (with the clients input) to make it a quilting sampler too. Mainly with the background quilting, and keeping it very small. The idea is to draw the viewer in with the pieced blocks, and then give them surprises when they look closer.
The leaves in the sashing are the same throughout the quilt to unify it. The border is a simple beadboard. Each block has a different background fill. This is a 1/4" grid. Some of you may get bored with all of this..it really is an exercise in tiny background fills.

This is a 1/2" grid on point with teardrops suspended from the points.

This is an overall small leaf fill. Each leaf is ~ 1/4" - 1/2".

This is clam shells (~ 1/4") and ribbon candy( two rows).

This is orange peel done on a 1/4" grid.

This is basket weave done on an 1" grid.

This is SID and tiny pebbles.

This is just a simple shell meander, albeit very small, and a plain ole micro stipple.

This is my feathered flower stipple.

And this is the back.


The client picked it up this evening and was thrilled...thankfully!!

I hope you all are having a great week!
