Metro Curves

Now that I have finished the vertical and horizontal and edges of Metro Twist, it was time for some trimming before doing more quilting. There wasn't a whole lot extra left over on this one, but it all worked out well.

The first line of curves following the edges of the print sections.

Looks pretty good.

Did the whole thing, but does it need more? One the two edges I did additional echo quilting lines to see if the density would work.

I think it works. This is a close up of the extra quilting lines on either edge of the quilt. One more echo quilting line would fit in the shape.

Muddy Hours

 It's done, my entry for the 15.4 Project Quilting prompt: Hourglass. This is called Muddy Hours.

Details, so many details.

I used machine embroidery and also normal echo stitching.

I like this corner the most. This on its own would make a cool quilt.

I like the muddiness of the printed image and the muddiness of the over dyed check linen/hemp. vs. the very clear and vibrant color hand dyed cottons.

Up close and personal, in the lower right hadn't corner, you can see my family's standing order at our favorite sushi restaurant. I was testing out the printer before I printed the fabric by printing the sushi order. There was a little hiccup and for unknown printer reasons it reprinted itself on the fabric. I then over printed with the image. Adds a little visual texture, especially because it's upside down and mostly illegilble.
