Black and White Couching Spirals

 

After all that quilting, it was time for some quilt trimming.

I have a design drawn out that needs to be added to this quilt, so I decided to try some couching.

I'm using a black and white  two-ply twisted cotton baker's twine. This first part in the lower right hand corner is the most fiddly part.

I'm using a black and white twisted 2-ply rayon thread (Wonderful D-Twist) to do the couching. Last seen being used last year, on my Stretching Art & Tradition 25 quilt

This is working out pretty well so far. It shows up just enough, like a sketch.

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.
