RED COTTAGES is quilted and bound!
It is a fantastic feeling and relief when you can put it up on the wall and study the result. It's a bit of a process to decide when it's ready. More quilting? Embroydery? Embellishment? Another color in that part...hmmmmm.
Well, I decided...it's finished!
The quilt is send to the Swedish Quilt Association, Rikstäcket, to be photographed for next years almanac.
That's an honor!
Here are some details!
I used embroydery thread in the mashine to highlight shapes in the design.

 When I sew a quilt like this I make a rough sketch of the design. I deside color theme and then make some drawings of houses. I start cutting! I cut..sew...cut...and build the quilt ....... I think it is very amusing and fun to work freely! And surely it makes the quilt personal! You can see a little of the process at my blogg post 16 of june! |
Absolutely FANTASTIC!!!!! :o) Love it!! ..... love all the details in your quilt.. well done Margreth!!
