there we go, finally i embraced the sewing machine, put some rubber gloves on my hands and started free hand quilting. it took a couple month to think and ponder until i some how knew what i wanted with the loulouthi for thea.
all of a sudden it was very clear, after lots of moments i was convinced my original idea of quilting it in lines was not going to be the right thing. and i also knew that i did not want a very tight free motion quilt-line. what's left? quilting in the seems? it felt boring to me.... it was a relatively easy line of spirals and squiggles i decided on and i'm so very pleased by it's look. more photos of the finished quilt, when i'm done, all done with the binding.
binding the quilt was a learning by doing in the past projects and with this one too. but i did come across the wonderful tutorial here and was following it thoroughly, it worked great, thank you Vicky
the lilies of the valley are in full bloom behind the house and this is so very perfect, as the back of thea's loulouthi-quilt is a vintage fabric (from my mother in law's mother or aunt or great aunt, i'm not sure how old), but it has woven lilies of the valley, a wonderful texture and just right for my little daughter.
