Shirley's quilt


Shirley brought me a 63 x 63 stack and whack quilt that she had done in fall colors.

 
I filled in the background with stippling.
 

I quilted a leafy swirl pattern on the sashing.


Shirley picked a nice orange thread for the pinwheels, but after I quilted the motif once around, I could see that it wasn't enough. There needed to be more quilting on the pinwheels so they would lay properly and fit in with the rest of the quilting. So I echoed the design in brown. It is much easier to see the quilting from the back.
 
Thanks Shirley!
