Another finish this week - aaahhh! This quilt started out as an exercise in my art group. The exercise was foundation piecing. I don't like the colors I used and I didn't do a good job of foundation piecing. See what I mean below.
I'm not really sure what happened but there are several places like the one above that didn't get sewn all the way during piecing. I tried to fix it with the quilting.
I used hot pink Signature 40 wt. thread on the sun and rays. I used a blue variegated Signature 40 wt. on the rest. I also learned that I don't like pebbles done with variegated thread.
It doesn't look too bad in photos or from a distance, but up close, YUCK. Oh well. It's done.

I love this block. The colors are great and the way you quilted it is fantastic. Looking at the finished piece you would never tell you had a problem. I wish I lived where you do and could be in your art group!
Just gorgeous quilting, Lynn! I love the contrast of the pebbling with the straight line quilting. Very striking!

I agree with Laurie. That is gorgeous, and I can't see a thing wrong with it.
I get what you mean about the pebbling but still, this is absolutely stunning! Could I please have pinkie's worth of your talent?
What a fabulous finish! Don't beat yourself up becuase it's not perfect. It looks very lovely and very hard to do! Congrats!
Sorry to hear you're not too happy with it - to me, it looks just great! The quilting compliments it lovely, well done!
