People always seem really intrigued with the quilting on the back when it shows up as well as these have. I'm asked how I come up with the unique designs. Well, I don't! The quilt top kind of tells me what to do (within the boundaries that the quilt owner gives me), and the back is always a surprise - I never know what it's going to look like until I'm finished, take it off the machine, and turn it over and look!
This 3rd quilt is a top that was just given to a woman who doesn't sew. She asked me to take it and turn it into a quilt for her. So I had to go buy the backing fabric, sew it to fit, quilt, make and attach the binding. She had simple tastes for the quilting design, so it isn't what I would have really chosen to do - but the customer is boss.

Super, as usual. I like the last quilt with its simplicity. Another quilting design might have been more stunning, but since I'm not good at visualizing... Must be the artistic talent you have. :)
ReplyDeleteVery clever quilting designs on the first 2 quilts Miriam - I love them, and I love the backs too.
