Finishing the Project from Sarah Ann Smith's Class

If you missed last Saturday's post you didn't see the start of this quilt.  It was during a fabulous class in Houston from Sarah Ann Smith.  Here's where I left off...


After having sat for a while I pulled the lint off the black fabric with my trusty lint roller I happen to keep right next to my machine.  I use it a lot when I'm quilting a dark colored fabric.




Next to quilt those circles.  I decided to make a circle chain quilting them in a light teal to match the outermost circles.  I love the effect, but then I got scared again and it sat for a few more weeks.  


Here's the finished quilt.  I decided to echo all the painting and then fill the background with some wild quilting combining three different patterns.


Here's a close-up.  I used bubbles, paisleys, and some fern looking fillers to fill the background area.  The thread is dark blue because it's really hard on my eyeballs to use black thread on a black background.


Another view of the background quilting.


And here's what happened in the center.  I used bubbles since the space was so narrow.


And the BACK side of the quilt.  I think I like it almost as much as the front!


A wonderful quilt from a wonderful class.

I hope you get to quilt today!
