thank you all for the burst of enthusiasm on my last post. especially all the new visitors. i am rushing off to spend some time with my mother this weekend. some comfort and wine. no internet. (gotta do something about that).
......i have chosen a kantha style stitch for this one. it will be very thready. i also thought i would treat it like a coloring book. quilting each section or piece with a different color. i just packed up that nest of thread ends and i figure it will be a good way to use them up. i was also hoping this would generate an interesting effect on the back.
......i like what i see so far. this quilt is batted with an old flannel sheet and backed with a lightweight yarn dyed tartan. functional quilts get dirty fast, the dark back and all those colored dots will camouflage stains well. so i start with A for apple and apple tree and we'll see.
