Voila!
Doesn't look like much does it! This is the ground of my BQS quilt. Lots of progress has slowly taken place on this over the last week or so. I am now ready for the next stage of applique and stitching. I will wait until then to show the whole thing (translation.. at least that way if the next bit destroys it noone will know what was ruined!). But I am quite pleased with how it is looking so far.
Despite last night not going quite as planned (ie rather than having a nice quiet house to myself to sew in I eneded up with family & a sick baby in the house!) I shut my door and got to work on this pebbling. When I first starting thinking about quilting for this quilt I wanted to pebble the soil part. I came very close to chickening out but I couldn't think of another suitable way to quilt it. So I did some practicing and then just decided to go for it. I'm glad I did. I think it works well with the rest of the little quilt.
I watched Leah's video on pebbling before I started and when she said that the 4" square took her 45 mins to do I thought she was joking. She wasn't!! My shoulders were aching this morning lol! :)
I hope everyone else had productive Friday nights!
