Finished

The silk quilt is finished :o) The last entry date is in another week so for once I am finished in reasonable time. Usually I am really up against the deadline and posting the day before.

I have used quite a lot of hot fix crystals on this one. I usually bead and don't know which effect I prefer now. It is certainly twinkly!!! I got around the lack of fabrics by piecing several colours to do the binding and made a scalloped/prairie points sort of finish at the bottom to give me the extra length I needed.

A lot of the quilt is paisley type designs so I thought this shape of bottom border fitted in quite well?

Silk quilt progress!

This seems to have taken forever and there is still lots to do on it! I always seem to end up with very close quilting. I do try to spread it out more but invariably want to fill any space in with stitching! The shot silk is amazing to work with and has to come to life with the quilting. I am thinking now of all sorts of other ideas to use it with.
I am running short of one of the main colours of silk so am having to think of an ingenious way to finish off the bottom edge than can be done with scraps.
Nothing new there then!!! :o)
