Last August I had the opportunity to test our one of traceyjay quilts' beautiful patterns, Linky Love. The quilt top came together quickly, but being my crazy self, I decided to hand quilt it. And then took a LONG break from hand quilting it. And now it is finally done. =)
The links were made using V&Co Simply Colors Ombre Jelly Roll strips, which gave them so much movement. I chose to quilt the links using the same color as the fabric, about 1/4" in from the seam. And then I quilted the background in a cross hatch in the large octagons and Xs in the small squares, using white thread.
I love how the colored stitches look on the white backing, though you can definitely see I'm not an experienced hand quilter.
And when you get a little more light behind the quilt the links show through the backing like stained glass! Love it!

ReplyDeleteI think you did a great job of hand quilting your quilt. I love the solid colors your chose. The fabrics enhance the pattern. You did an excellent job! This is a quilt I'd like to add to my to-do list.
