I am liking the quilted circular elements!
Not all of the blocks are quilted yet, but I thought that I would share my progress. I know the color isn’t right. The quilting shows up better when I take photos indoors without the lights on.
I am thinking of filling in the blocks with stippling to flatten the background and help the applique stand out better.
Quilt On!

When I last shared an update about the Floral Reflections quilt, I shared that all of the stitching in the ditch and outline stitching was finished.
But I didn’t share a photo of what that looks like from the back.
Now I have.
In general, I am a quilt by the seat of my pants kind of girl. I don’t usually have my quilting all planned out.
While looking at this quilt, I thought the square blocks needed circular elements.
To get started, I am going to use two circle templates.
I traced larger circles around each block using Cindy Needham’s template, and I chose a small circle template to trace ‘berries’ from Karen Kay Buckley’s assortment.
We’ll see how this turns out.
Quilt On!
I am happy to share a finish before the end of the year!
Vintage Ornaments is now a completed quilt!
I have a few close pictures of the machine quilting for you. I have used decorative quilting, and background filler quilting (to show off the ornaments).
Except for the binding, this was a fun project! I have trouble sewing a binding on completely by machine. I need more practice…especially with the corners! If anyone has tips for me, please share! Meanwhile, I will keep practicing, and, who knows, maybe one day I will master it!
