Since I got back from LA, I've been continuing to stitch the kawandii quilt. My goal was to finish in time for the BAMGQ UFO Challenge which is due on our Sew Day (which is today).
As I got closer and closer to the center I had to finalize it, added two last pieces into the mix, right before the stitching reached that area of the quilt.
I found the stitching got harder and harder to do as I got into the center.
The pieces got smaller so there were a lot more edges to contend with and that meant more layers of silk to stitch through.
It has been a fun and challenging project and I’ve really enjoyed learning a new way to make a quilt. I started working on this project in a
SBMQG class with Sujata Shah back in 2021Here it is, all finished!
I ended my last stitching line with an X just because, "x marks the spot" has always made sense to me.
The corners got a little ravel-y, but they're still looking nice. As Sujata said in class, "the Kawandi looks "naked" without a fula in each of the four corners."
And that's #2 on my
BAMQ UFO Challenge list completed just in time to show at Sew Day.
