I have finished binding my Bonnie & Camille Around the World Quilt!
It is made up of 2" squares (2.5" cut) from many of my beloved Bonnie & Camille fabrics. It was pieced on my Singer 99k hand cranked beauty but quilted on my Pfaff Ambition Essential.
I had thought to quilt in the ditch on this one, but choose the serpentine stitch (wavy, snaky line) instead and basically followed what would have been the ditch lines anyway. The quilting isn't as hidden as it would be with 'in the ditch' and I'm pretty happy with the result. The fact that serpentine stitch is a very forgiving alternative to stitching in the ditch is a huge bonus!!
I am also congratulating myself on making a reasonable dent in my B&C stash with this quilt and the quilt I made for my friend last year. Three boxes has become two, and pretty as they are all folded up, they look so much better as quilts!!
And, just in case you aren't tired of looking at this quilt yet either ;-) here's a final shot -
11 WIPs has become 10!
This is beautiful, a real heirloom. I really should start using up some of my Bonnie and Camille fabric too. x
