I’ve been stitching. Not fast enough to keep up with the Groove Quilt A Long, but fast enough to be making progress. I named this quilt my ‘sea mist’ quilt since the colors remind me of the beach where I grew up.
I’m in the middle of quilting, and it is turning out to be so much fun! I had let the quilt simmer for a little while since it wasn’t striking a chord with me. I’m so glad I did, because now I am really enjoying the process rather than racing through it. I’m trying a few new things with this one. I attempted ‘woodgrain’ from the Angela Walter’s amazing FMQ book.
And then I quilted in bubbles. I made this little technique up all by myself. It turned out exactly how I wanted it to and I’ll share more on this later.
I have quilted 3 of the 5 fabrics in this quilt. After I get back from quilt market, I can make pretty short work of the last two. I think it is going to turn out really well. The back is an awesome vintage sheet I can’t wait to share with you!
So there you have it.
I’m linking up to Freshly Pieced for WIP Wednesday and Pile O Fabric for the Groove Quilt Along Finale.
It’s looking great! Looking forward to hearing more about your bubbles technique, it looks really cute!
Oh love that woodgrain quilt work! Terrific job! & the bubbles are great! Very clever idea. Even the glass is cute!

Beautiful! I love the sea mist colors and the fact that they are not all solids. What fun FMQ. Your wood grain looks great. I can’t wait to try the bubbles!
i really loved this! you did a great job on this.
would you mind sharing the fabrics you used? i love the combo. i’m new to this so it would take me forever to figure out what they are!
I have been wondering how to do continuous circle quilting without crossing. This really looks awesome, can’t wait to see i finished! Thanks again for participating 🙂
