Big Dots
I just finished piecing the top of my Love Beads quilt for the Modern Quilt-Along. Wheeee! I'm happy with how it turned out.
I really wish I could take some better pictures. Part of the issue is that I still need to give it a good ironing before it will look better. After that, I'll need to sqaure it up and trim the edges (the last two circles on each side will end up looking like they're moving off the quilt) and the top will all be done.
I've been debating trying machine quilting for finishing this, but I think I'm going to end up hand quilting it after all. I just like the look of it so much. I do have a different strategy for going at the quilting though. I'm going for close quilting to give the effect of a lot of texture. It's such a visually stimulating pattern that I think I need to continue that with the quilting too.
I'm so excited to have this part done!
