I used the a technique similar to the "Flurry of Angels" by Jamie Wallen and Nichole Webb (No Boundaries) for the quilting in the patchwork block and striped borders.
I put a curly motif in the white narrow border.
For the center medallion star, I put big swirls in the blue areas. I wanted to do some close quilting in the white areas so they would recede to the background. I decided to do pebble stippling, a decision later to be classified in the "What Was I Thinking?" category.
The pebbling looks great, but is more or less a form of longarm torture!
The backing is a light blue fabric. There is not actually a bulge in the quilt!
This is a group effort by the Whacky Ladies Bee. I am handing it off to Marilyn and Kathy for the binding and hanging sleeve, and Lori has offered to make an embroidered label.
Today I am off to visit my father at my sister's house near Greensboro before we leave for vacation on Saturday. I am hoping that Dad will be strong enough for them to join us at the beach for a few days.
