Lynne is again hosting Fresh Sewing Day, asking us to share what we enjoyed the most in April.
Mostly I have enjoyed thinking about the quilting part of making quilts and actually doing the quilting. I am now quilting my giant dresdens for my Party Rings (Lily's Quilts QAL) quilt. I decided to unify the 6 blocks by doing lines around the dresdens (but varying the distances that the lines are apart) and then try to use as many different quilting patterns for the centres and outside bits as I can. So, no expert quilting here, but I am having a lot of fun.
There are six blocks in all, but the quilting goes reasonably fast. The thread colours are Strawberry Swirl and Chocolate Brownies, perfect for the Party Rings I thought.
I also made wall quilt (something I probably, at some point, said I would not do...sigh... never say never). I am rather fond of it, it is called Sheltered. I have put it on the blog before, but one more time:
I have done some other quilty things in April which were and continue to be great fun, but that's enough for today. Do try to visit the talented crew linking at Fresh Sewing Day and enjoy your Sunday.

Love your quilting. Makes your party rings even more beautiful!
Fab quilting - those circles - wow!
The quilting looks great!!!
It's funny, I didn't think I'd want my walls covered in little quilts when I started but they are such fun to make - I'm really loving your FMQ by the way.

Love your wall hanging. Your quilting is great!
love your work... and thanks for visiting my blog...I am from Edmonton too...living in the Seattle area.
I envy you your quilting skills - both the dresdens and Sheltered look great.
I too envy your quilting skills, It almost looks like the blades of your dresden are whizzing round, brilliant! I have no idea how I'll quilt my one dresden yet, of course I'd have to finish it first :)
Wow, that FMQ is divine!
I love all your variegated thread! I love quilting with that too - it really does add to the movements of the quilts.
