Quilting

April OMG

Hi Everyone,

April OMG

I’ve been working on my stained glass quilt for a while.  This month I intend on finishing it.  My son has expressed a liking so it will be gifted to him.

I found the pattern in a Fons and Porter Magazine.  The colors just blew me away.  Fabric and Pattern

I thought the pattern would be more difficult than it was.  It clearly indicated how many and size strips I needed to cut from these lovely ombre fabrics.  The blocks came together quite easily.

Stained Glass Blocks

I sewed the quilt top together and was very pleased with the results.

I used remnants for the backing to show off the fabric in its full ombre glory.

Quilt Back

I’ve been quilting this using my walking foot.  A different design in each block.  It has been a long process of turning the quilt in each direction.  I’ve put it on hold for a while during the holiday and to give my shoulders a rest.

  1. The colours you used are amazing, no wonder your son wants this quilt. I’m interested in how you have been machine quilting with your walking foot, it looks very smart.

    1. Hi Jenny,
      Thanks. I’ve been marking the center line of each design and sewing back and forth until I get three lines. Each a quarter inch from the center.
