Finally finished – the second of the “floating quilts”. The first one is smaller with 2 rows of 4 rectangle. This one has 3 rows of 5 rectangles. The blocks and sashing in both quilts are the same size.
This is my experiment – I wanted to see in reality not only the differences in the size, but also in the quilting technique. I quilted the small one with a walking foot with straight lines, the big one is free-motion quilted. I decided to quilt only the white fabric with two patterns : pebbles (white fabric in the rectangles) and waves (sashing). I have used my new thread from Superior Threads So Fine! #50 in white and I am happy with the result. The quilting looks finer and the thread does not stand out. I think I shall use the thicker thread (a #40 or #30) for straight line quilting or free-motion quilting with a larger pattern and the #50 thread for fine, dense quilting.
I have updated my Etsy and Dawanda shops.
Now I have to get back to my quilting room and tidy it up !!!!
Till next time, happy quilting, Barbora
Hi Barbora
I really like the way you have densely quilted in some areas. It brings a lovely variation in texture as well as colour. Another beautiful quilt! Avis x
Hello Avis, thanks for your kind words. This time I enjoyed the quilting process, looking forward to new projects. How is your puppy doing? Barbora
He’s fantastic and hard work
He’s just had his final vaccinations this morning and an identity microchip inserted. He can go for walks outside in two weeks from now. I can’t wait! I must get back to sewing soon. I’m planning a very basic sampler at the moment. Avis x
Dogs are such a good company, I don’t want to miss mine.
Looking forward to see your sampler. I have been giving classes for the last 2 months and we made a baby size sampler quilt. We have holidays at the moment, but in September I shall post some photos of the finished quilts. Barbora
That would be lovely. It is amazing how when everyone makes the same quilt, the colours completely change the way it looks
Well done on the teaching. It would be lovely to have more quilters blogging from Spain. All you need to do now is persuade them to do it

August is a holiday month in Spain. All is to “normal” when the kids are back to school. Lets wait what September brings, maybe some new bloggers.
Greetings from a very hot Spain, Barbora
I love the floating rectangles and your quilting. Lovely.
Thanks! I like the paper piecing you are working on!
I have done paper piecing only once – the Storm at Sea block – which is quit easy. Good luck with your seams …
