Carrying On!!!!

Continuing on with this scholarship fundraiser donation to IQA, I'm first securing the black sections of this quilt . I don't really want the thread to show much so 'am using a 100 wt Invisifil. Around the eyes , I simply add a securing stitch to hold it together. Outlining the eyeball perimeter is important

I'll be stitching fairly heavily on the rust colored and white ares, and letting the black outlined areas stand on their own. I tend to think the minds eye likes the variety of textures... smooth versus furrowed with quilting. It's all an individual decision I know and for me varies by piece. Yahoo!! There are no rules!


Quilting upside down is fine with me! Click on photos to enlarge.
