So, I've entered seven, yes SEVEN, quilts in our guild's quilt show. What was I thinking??? But, surprising myself, I've actually completed five of them and am on the home stretch on the sixth one. I just have to figure out what to quilt on the borders, something I've been struggling with for about a week now. I know, I posted this one last week with the same problem. Sigh.
The seventh is ready to sandwich and quilt. I discovered that the backing I bought isn't large enough, so I'm trying to find enough of the batiks and yellow fabric to piece it to the right size. Then the big question will be - how to quilt it. I watched the Ricky Timms video the other day, "Great Finale," and got some really good ideas to try. We'll see how that works out.
I do know how I'm going to do the Mariner's compass, but I'm thinking I
need to do something with the center - maybe a smaller compass to make
it more interesting. Or, maybe I can make the quilting in the center do
that for me. This quilt is entered in the show theme category. I
designed the logo for the show and knew immediately that I needed to
quilt it.
