Go-Es-Car-Go...a finish!

This quilt top has been together for over a month now....

So I decided to bite the bullet and get quilting.

 

Basting didn’t take long,

 

but the quilting certainly did!

 

If I ever consider quilting swirls again,

 

I need someone to take my sewing machine away until 

I have come to my senses.

 

I used almost an entire spool of Aurifil thread,

 

and I lost count of how many bobbins I wound!

 

I wonder whether the swirls contributed to the bouts of 

vertigo I experienced during this time! 

To say I am glad it is finished is an understatement!

It finishes at about 58” square, and my second quilt for 

2022.

I finished it with black and white stripe binding.

I couldn't resist taking this photo.....

snails do 'go slow' after all!

In retrospect, that would have made a good name for this quilt!

Thankfully the rain stopped and we had a chance to get 

some decent photos.....

because this was the sky as we went for a walk earlier 

in the day!

Go Escargot!

 It was February the last time I shared these Snail Trail 

blocks.

Since then the number has increased....

I've broadened the palette to include red, blue, yellow 

and brown.

It's interesting to see the way the pattern can look quite 

different, depending on which way the block is turned.

Can you see the difference between this.....

and this?

It certainly helps to stand back and look from a 

distance....

            Don't stress... this is the 'correct' way 

Yesterday I bought these 10" squares...

which will be used for future blocks.

Go-'es-car-go'!

Happy sewing!
