Still hand quilting...
...x's in the 9 patches and "flowers" in the snowballs.
Not sure how I will tack down those prairie points so they don't flap around. Any suggestions?
I'm stitching along today with others in blog land at Kathy's Quilts Slow Sunday Stitching. I wonder what everyone else is up to.
Oh perhaps one pretty bead or button on each point??? i love them on quilts...hugs, Julierose
ReplyDeleteI've never done prairie points, so I have no advice whatsoever. I have a wall quilt that I got in a swap that has them - they're not tacked down in any way, but it is a wall quilt. I'll be interested to see what others say.
ReplyDeleteEvery time I see you hand quilting a quilt I think to myself "I can do that"...but then I get scared...what if I have enormous puckers on the back? No Bueno! Do you use Perle floss or DMC floss? You thread baste first right?
ReplyDeleteI am planning a prairie point project...someday soon, I hope. I am interested in what thread you hand quilt with, also. I am currently using a 30 wt variegated Sulky- doubled to get even more color on a wildly colored wall hanging. Not totally happy with it.
ReplyDeleteLove your busy patterns.

Such a beautifully coloured quilt, could you just put a little stitch or two in the point?
ReplyDeleteI like the button idea for the points . I would not like them to flap around either! Have fun sewing
ReplyDeleteOh, I so admire those that can hand quilt! Nice job!
ReplyDeleteNo better suggestion for how to control your points, but I still like them a lot.
ReplyDeleteYou could applique the prairie points all the way around.
ReplyDeleteI have stitched a bead on the points before, but that was for a wallhanging.
A button might be fun too!
