\"\"<\/a>That’s the name of my latest quilt, because I had a “vision” of what I wanted to do, but I kept changing my mind. So the final product isn’t anything like what I’d originally intended, and I’m a bit disappointed. Oh well — live and learn. This is a small quilt, approximately 24″ x 24″. I couched some lovely Dazzle threads by Wonderfil, but I didn’t do it the way I’d thought I would, so they don’t give quite the effect I’d hoped for.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The quilting is a combination of free-motion work and ruler work, and I thoroughly enjoyed doing all of that. I put in the little prairie points to add a bit of interest; they’re inserted into the seam but “float” freely otherwise.<\/p>\n
