Slow but sure is the the name of this game. Every day I am working on the Queen. Though I am a little further along than these photos depict, I thought I'd share this much. More will come later. I still have tons to do, but I love seeing this quilt come alive with the stitching! Pretty much what you are seeing in the main motifs is the outlining...the details are yet to come. All of the outlining is being done in black thread...Bottom Line to be specific. It's nice and thin, but still adds that finite line.
I am quilting the background in it's entirety as I go.
And the Queen as the outlining begins... though this is not the true color...I think the overhead lights washed it out a bit
Never fear, the thread tails have since been tied,buried and clipped.
Work continues...more pictures later this week.
Gorgeous quilt and quilting, Deb!
