In the Hoop: Tiny Spools in a BIG quilt

Tiny Spools in a BIG quilt

I was going to quilt this on my DSM. 
Then I wasn't. 
Then I was.
Then I wasn't.
Then I was. 
Then I saw some #12 perle cotton thread on clearance. 
Then I bought LOTs of #12 clearance perle. 
Then I remembered I always wanted to hand quilt a quilt with Baptist Fans.
Then I decided this was the quilt to quilt with Baptist Fans. 
Then I marked a few rows of Baptist Fans in mechanical pencil.
Then it went into the hoop and then I started hand quilting.

    And then you were exhausted and sat down to relax. And quilt.
    I love your spools, you inspirer, you!

    Hehehehe.... You are too funny! Sometimes things just place themselves in our path (cotton on sale) to lead us in the right direction. Great decision to hand quilt in the baptist fan pattern on this cutie.

    Once I big stitched a child's quilt in a similar frame. I enjoyed it. Hope you enjoy it also as it would be fun to quilt these colorful spools.

    Ah yes, that slippery slope that sends us quilters down a path quickly. It is going to be beautiful! Thanks for sharing with Oh Scrap!

    And then all your quilty fans shouted "You go, girl!" as we watched another great quilt come together. The End.

    I am squealing with delight over here... love the spools and love the hand quilted fans!
    So exciting!
    I can totally relate to the decision making "back and forth" "Yes I am, No I'm not" kind of process!! LOL
