Magnolia II Quilt

Life …

Ashton can beat me in putting these puzzles together.

… as a Quilter

I cut out the petals from a fabric made of soft pastel colors.

I thought at first that I would quilt all the background +/- 1/8” apart so I started in the middle and was working my way out to the top and bottom. And then I changed my mind. I decided to quilt approximately 2” apart and then fuse my magnolia to the quilt. Why waste all that beautiful thread under the magnolia?

I highlighted the pastel petals with Inktense pencils and love the darkening effect.

And now it’s on to the quilting.
