Template testing⦠The next border is round, loosely based on DNA and my version of single wedding ring in the round. Used Bernina Designer software to help digitize and draft the templates. Massive mind challenge to sew it together the first time, but There is a fairly straightforward flow to the assembly. Came out the right size and lying pretty flat ⦠I will call that progress and now it is time to play with the pretty fabrics ð #quilting
My latest dahlia⦠intended for the center of a quilt⦠what do you think? I experimented with pieced petals and some fussy cut pieces⦠not sure about it⦠#dahliaquiltblock #quilting
My next project is a Giant Dahlia quilt in vintage fabrics for a family member. It is huge! But this is bed size quilt. So happy to have awakened my love of quilting⦠stat tuned! Marti Mitchell templates. #dahliaquilt #1930squilts #quilting
Itâs finished. Ready to be gifted. Truly a journey of learning and fun making this quilt. Finished size is . 49 x 63, a nice lap size quilt. Used many batiks, and the Marti Mitchell âNot so Giant Dahliaâ pattern templates. Trying to really push myself to utilize the many features of my sewing machine. Used Bernina V9 software, cutworks, and In the Hoop quilting techniques. #berninausa #batikquilts #quilting #sewing
Slow going⦠but more progress. Did some machine quilting with walking foot, then designed some quilting motifs using embroidery software for the petal pieces, and I am doing my first In the Hoop quilting on my embroidery machine. So many pieces to quilt, but living how it is coming out! I am learning so much. Hopefully ready for binding tomorrow. Also digitized the template pieces from Marti Mitchellâs Not So Giant Dahlia pattern, and used cutworks to cut all my pieces out. Excuse threads, still a work in progress #quilting #ithquilting #berninav9software #2manylizards #martimitchelltemplates #dahliaquilt
Progress! Borders on and quilting has just begun⦠I am loving it. I found the border fabric and it started the ball rolling. Marti Mitchellâs Not So Giant Dahlia. Lots of learning and experimenting with new techniques and a bit of dusting off my old quilting skills. #batikquilt #quilting
My second Dahlia medallion. The color placement was inspired by Dahlia Dazzle made by Marilyn Giblin. Loving the challenge and exploration into such a wonderful quilt pattern. All done in batiks. #quilting #sewing #batikquilt
