Once I’ve made design decisions and have the large elements marked, I have a sense of accomplishment. Of course, there is accomplishment in getting that far, but actually the work has just begun. So here I am making some progress on quilting the sunflowers and vines.
When the large designs have been quilted, I will change to a peach-colored thread to quilt around those shapes. That quilting will all be done without any marking ahead. I especially like that kind of quilting because I’m free to change directions, shapes and sizes as I stitch. I can focus on what is happening in the moment and simply enjoy the process. I should be at that stage later today.
