This project has been five years in the making. Five years ago, I had taken a fabric painting class at Quilt Odyssey in Hershey. Then with the fabric we had painted we either could make pointsettias or sunflowers. I did these pointsettias and I had them all layed out and had it all ready to be quilted by the end of the class. Well, it was not until last week that I quilted it. Last year I had taken a free motion quilting class so, I decided to try the skills I had learned out on this project that needed so desperately to be finished.
All I need to do is put the binding on and the wallhanging will be finished!
I quilted the petals to make it look like they had veins. I used a pink thread on all of them.
Then, every where else I just did random loops (picture of the back).
I have found that I really enjoy free motion quilting. Now I am working on quilting another wall hanging. I hope to be able to finish it soon! ☺
