I have been trying to do more traditional designs for quilting this simple quilt, Bosna #4.
I used a big round platter for the largest circle, and a sliver of dried soap to mark the line. Then a dinner plate, salad plate and small glass for the center.
I had to resort to traditional methods on a quilt I made for my sister. Had a large feather circle in the middle also. I had no marking anything (it was white) so I read up and decided to use cinnamon as a stamping powder. Worked pretty good and even after washing still smelled of cinnamon.
I'm impresses and inspired! Now, to get off the Internet and into the sewing room.
ReplyDeleteThat should be "impressed"...
DeleteLooks great!
ReplyDeleteWow ... just beautiful - both quilts!
