This may well be the smallest stipple I've ever done on a quilt top. Believe me, it needs the extra strength! I kept finding more weak seams as I went on.
I think the polka dot binding will really bring out the applique patches. I was lucky to find such a snazzy coordinating fabric.
This is where it's at now. I would say it's about 90% stippled - 5 bobbins worth. All that enormous Minkee stippling made me forget how much thread can be consumed by such a small quilt!
I should be able to easily finish all the stippling tomorrow. All that's left then is to bind it, label it, wash it and dry it. I definitely want to have it ready for the Blanketeer meeting this Friday. I haven't finished anything in ages and I have to set a good example. 8)
What a beautiful quilt that is going to be

Wow, that is tight stippling :-). It does take forever that way eh? It looks awesome though!! Great job and I LOVE the polka dot binding.
ReplyDeleteThat is just lovely! Good for you for saving that quilt and transforming it into something beautiful - great idea to applique over the "boo boos".
