Still hand quilting

Since I can't focus my mind on designing a new quilt I keep working on this hand quilting. It looks as if this will be finished earlier than expected.

Hand quilting

This hand quilting will be my companion during these long dark evenings on the couch.

Basting party

Not my preferred step in quilt making but still a milestone that makes me happy!

Once I decided on the final layout for this top I immediately started with the assembly to reach the point of no return. I haven't regretted it so far and I'm happily attaching the last block.

Steps IV // 10 and last !!

Steps IV is completed! And I'm very very satisfied with how this work turned out.

Except for the backing (which is a light weight ikea fabric) it is made of 90% recycled shirts.
The batting is a thin loft 100% cotton. The spacing of the parallel quilting lines varies from 1 to 2.5 cm. The result is a soft and cozy quilt.

I really love how it looks. The colors are calm, the shapes are subtle, resulting in an elegant look. Yet there is so much to look at. The movement evokes different associations such as water or music.

It measures 170 x 127 cm.
