Plans actually came together and I had a rather lazy afternoon quilting in front of tv yesterday. I finally started on Floral Beauty. The quilting will be quite simple, just double rows around each circle, and maybe a little at the block corners.
I have appliquéd the layers of each block without cutting out the fabric behind so it is too thick to quilt through. I'm not sure if this is how I should have done it, but it's what I've got to work with now.
Whilst I sewed I watched The Big Wedding and The Internship. Both were very funny.
I really need to spend some time on secret Christmas projects today. Hope you have a relaxing day and find a moment for some stitching.

I loved both those movies!!! Your quilt is gorgeous, any quilting will compliment it!
ReplyDeletewow Susan your quilt looks awesome,well done,love the quilting,i havent seen either of these movies,i must check them out.xx
ReplyDeleteAhh a good movie and stitching--life is good
ReplyDeleteLove your quilt and hand stitching.
ReplyDeleteLove watching your ongoing progress with Floral Beauty - the double lines around the circles look great.
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful quilting. If you wanted to quilt inside the blocks, could you just go through the top couple of layers and now right through to the backing? Not being a prolific hand quilter, I'm unsure about these things but was just wondering.
ReplyDeleteYour quilt will be fabulous... and I think leaving the actual block un-quilted will make it stand up puffy and beautiful! GoRGeouS colour choice! :)
ReplyDeletethe quilting will compliment the blocks beautifully! Not sure about cutting behind either...
ReplyDeleteIt shouldn't matter I think?
Happy quilting
Looks lovely Susan, you can't beat a quiet afternoon stitching with a good movie.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely way to spend the day, wish I had done that lol.

Nice progress on Floral beauty...looking good.
ReplyDeleteFloral Beauty must be quite heavy to work on.
ReplyDeleteJust realised how close Xmas is and how much I still have to do.

Quilt looks gorgeous! and quilting will look beautiful! Enjoy what is left of the weekend, Michelle.
ReplyDeleteWonderful Susan! I like your idea of the simple quilting... and so neatly done!!!
ReplyDeleteWhoh! It's looking amazing Susan - I think there will be a fair bit of movie-watching going on while you work on this...
ReplyDeleteThe bathroom is very lovely - we put a clear screen in the kids bathroom when we did theirs - while it looks great for the space, it's a beast to keep clear of all their splatter of body wash & shampoo blobs... Good luck with yours ! x
Just beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteAlways so nice to have some time stitching in front of the tv.
Your Floral Beauty is just lovely Susan! What a lovely way to sit down and unwind and watch tv!
