I can't believe it is Sunday again and time to pull out a new UFO. I finished my 2 projects from last week but didn't take time tonight to do pictures so I'll post this on Linky Tuesday at Freemotion at the River.
This new item is a sofa topper that I started last fall. I was planning to take it to my craft show but the amount of quilting didn't fit into the time slot I had to finish it. The first picture is the overall quilt and please excuse the fold lines as this has been put away for a while. The colors aren't showing up that great but are done in black, greys, taupes. It is made up of the same block turned different ways and then side borders.
Here is a closeup of one block. I have done the leaf and my feather looks more like a leaf than a plume. There are also some loopy loops and a narrow strip of ribbon quilting.
Here is my dilemma, what do I put in the borders around the squares? Should I do leaf designs in all the areas? I like the leaves I have done and may add a maple leaf in one of the squares.
When I get the quilting figured out for this one block, should I repeat the same quilting in all the blocks? The narrow strip on the side is a border that I was going to do leaves on a vine.
