A couple of weeks ago I shared my experience with you when I visited the Carltonville Country Counters' Regional meeting, and how I volunteered to quilt this quilt for them, you can read all about it here.
Well the time has finally arrived to share the finished quilt with all of you.
After they sent it to me I had it 'sit' for a few weeks until I finally decided what I wanted to quilt. I really wanted the quilting to pop and to emphasize the quilt design. So I used my all time favourite quilting designs, alternating between swirls, pebbles and some dot to dot quilting with a wiggly filler.
I will let the pictures tell the rest of the story....
I enjoyed every second I spent finishing this quilt for them. It was a totally new experience quilting a quilt not pieced by myself, the fabrics used in this quilt is truly beautiful, I love the rich colours.
I am really proud of what I have done and I hope they approve and will call on me again in the future for projects like these... it was honestly 'A Labour of Love'.
