Nearly finished, 12 “snails” to go

Now, back to things that are much more interesting. My Wild Thyme raw edge circle quilt. It’s looking good. I’m really glad I went with the hand quilting. And my snails look so lovely in their different colours. It’s a good exercise in proving the four-colour theorum. No two “touching” circles having the same colour thread. I’m not doing quite as good a job of that as I thought I would, and some snails that are diagonally across from each other, cater-cornered, have the same colour. However.

I love how, even with all the colour from the fabrics themselves, you can still see the Perle 8 cottons very clearly

hmmm, nice!

I’m thinking of doing some reef knots in between the circles. Or embroidered starbursts, for want of a better way of transposing that image from my head onto the screen.

What do you think?

DEFINITELY by hand!

Take a look at this, doesn’t it look good? Definitely going to quilt this by hand. I just love the look.

do you like the colours I've chosen in perle 8? going to quilt "snails" with these in all the circles, and diamonds in between them

And how’s this for the binding. Perfect, right?

thanks Trish, you just have such a knack for picking the perfect binding!
