I am in the midst of making quilt number 3 out of 5 for my guild’s show in March. (Quilt 4 is started and quilt 5 is just about finished so hopefully I’ll get them done in time.)

Here are some before and after photos showing how quilting enhances the overall design. First I marked the quilt design in blue washout pen and then quilted on the lines.

Here’s a closeup of the wreath quilting before I added some background stippling. The picture below right is the pieced portion before quilting. Both blocks need something more.

Finally, the two blocks are quilted how I like them – lots of detail with designs to fill the space. Quilting really does make a difference. Now, on to the next quilt!

(And yes, I will post pictures of all 5 quilts when they are completely finished!)
