I’ve joined “A Lovely Year of Finishes” for 2013 hosted by Fiber of All Sorts and Bittersweet Designs.
Maybe with this challenge I can finish at least 12 of my unfinished projects. I’m not sure that’s going to happen, but I’m going to try.
My goal for January is to finish “The Blue and the Grey: Quilting America’s Great Divide.”
I laid out some thread and glitzy netting to see if that would help my drab and dull start.
I haven’t used the netting yet and I’m not sure that I will. I’m still quilting and quilting and quilting.
love your quilt, not sure how the net would be incorporated, have u got any ideas ?
ReplyDeleteSometimes it is difficult to determine when a piece is finished. I think your work is charming and complete as is. Hand quilting always adds a nice touch. I like the quilt. Good luck.
ReplyDeleteHi Julia, thanks for visiting my blog:) I'm pleased you like some of my quilts too:)I really like your square in a square pineapple quilts great colours!! Dianna
ReplyDeleteHow fun to see where this will go! I've never thought of embellishing with netting :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great project for January. How would you be using the netting?
ReplyDeleteI love the muted colours in this quilt!
ReplyDeleteYour quilt looks beautiful so far. I don't think it's drab at all. I can't wait to see how you decide to finish it up!!
ReplyDeleteI like what I can see of your quilt, and would love to see more of the design. Being a traditionalist, I'd say nix the net. =)
ReplyDeleteI love your quilt and look forward to seeing how the netting is used.
ReplyDeleteWhat an intriquing mix of goodies! Can't wait to see what you do with them!
ReplyDeleteHapy 2013!
That netting might look interesting as a bunting addition after the quilt is finished. You know bunting was a popular method of decorating for patriotic events back then. Here are some images to help you get ideas:

I typed in "civil war bunting" in Google and looked at the images, in case the link doesn't work for you. :-)
I really like the design of your quilt and I think the colors are great!
ReplyDeleteThat looks like fun! Looking forward to see how it looks at the end of the month!
