Another chunk done 🙂
This is long side panel no. 3, and I’m in the groove now: Do the first three rows, rotate the panel and do the second three rows. It’s easier to work close to the bottom edge, because I can dispense with the weights I was originally using to give some tension to the surface. Closer to the edge, you can grip the fabric area you’re working on. By rotating the piece, I’m never more than three rows from the edge. Makes it all a lot quicker.
So, next will be the third cornerstone, followed by the fourth side panel and cornerstone, and we’ll then be onto the last and biggest and potentially trickiest piece, the centre panel. And I still haven’t worked out what to do there… I suspect I shall have to press it and sandwich it, lay it on the table and then just use my eyes and listen to what it’s telling me.
I hope the quilt has a clear idea, because I don’t!

Looking so so good …. your heart and hands will work it out …. your creativity has me spellbound 😍
The quilt will tell me what it wants and needs in due course. It’s often the way, and always a mistake to force an idea onto a quilt without letting it speak.
Those little clam shells are very neat. I’m sure the centre will all become clear once you have it laid out it in front of you.
I think you’re right. I haven’t seen it for weeks, it’s folded up in the project basket. It’ll probably strike me like lightning when I open it up again.
Beautiful quilting, I’m sure you and the quilt will come to an agreement over the middle 🙂
Thank you! I think this particular quilt has very firm opinions and will simply let me know when the time comes.
Let the quilt guide you. Use the quilt. 😉
I always do… 🙂
Beautiful stitching, Kate, I have no doubt the quilt will tell you what it wants!
Nor do I – it’s a very opinionated quilt!
The colors of this quilt are so rich and grounding for me. Beautiful stitching
Thank you! I’m glad you’re enjoying the process.
This is the perfect quilt for a dark gloomy day! Sunshine!
It sure does light up the room – and we have a few dark clouds overhead right now…
It’s true sunshine in a quilt!
gorgeous quilting. The shape reminds me of Christmas tree baubles ^^
Yes, exactly, or Moorish tile designs.
I know it will come to you, and when it does it will be awesome.
I hope it will… I’m beginning to get an idea of what I might do, but I need to think on it a bit further.
I know you´ll find a great quilt pattern, but I think that´s the hardest part when quilting!!
I want to keep it really simple, I think the quilt is quite ‘loud’ enough already. I’m beginning to have an idea, something that works with the design rather than across it.
Sounds great!!!!
