I decided that it was time to finish some projects that have been hanging around for a while, and clear the decks for some new work. I also needed a break from dress making which I have enjoyed revisiting after many years. The background of this circle quilt was started several years ago, and last summer I added all the circles. It has sat layered and tacked together ever since and now is the time for quilting it. The quilting which I am making up as I go along, is going to be fitted around other things and so may take a few weeks.
I thought I would give you a peak, though I won't show you the whole quilt until it's finished.
The quilt has been made of Japanese fabrics.
I tacked the quilt together with a basting gun and add a few extra pins as I start to quilt in specific areas. To start with I am going to sew in the ditch around the circles and then echo quilt some of them also.
Here is what the back looks like after my first quilting session.
