Avery's Quilt : Adding More Characteristics



More Characteristics










As I encounter my desire for some change among the newly sewn cloth. 
Creative juices kept running freely .... 

Maybe the butterfly pattern had something to do with that as it changed my cloth!





I began to explore a few decorative options . And turned to looking into my thread supply with thoughts of adding some decorative stitches.  I discovered 2 that popped out at me and waiting for me to make use.






This took me to sewing a few decorative stitches. I used a contrast  choice of color among my threads. And began the phases of add them to the strip that had become rows in my cloth.

Deep pink thread applied to the plaid  shown in this picture. Providing a contrast border with star like flowers. An added characteristic to the row of plaid.












I continued sewing a few choice rows & changing color choices among threads. And by sewing a few different choices among decorative stitching methods to add to the rows of my cloth.

Resulted in Adding More Characteristics to the cloth.

My latest Quilt

Been busy finishing up with a new baby quilt this weekend. I decided 2 weeks ago, to make another Puff/biscuit/pillow quilt.  As soon as I located and purchased fabric for the puffs, I was right on it.  And to my luck, I already had a bag of filling and plenty of muslin for the backside to make the pillowing puffs. All I needed was the rainbow of pastel fabrics.  For this quilt, color choices included yellow and purple  with a few coordinating prints with hints of pink  after all, this is to be made for a newborn baby girl just born last week! I'm almost done today  and rather excited for it to be soon gifted.  However first, wanted to organize my journal progresses and edit my notes.  That made me begin to wonder, how many quilters really do journal their progresses  with notes, and as one is working on a project or quilt. I began to note how much better my work was flowing and as I kept up on my notes....
