Wheel Around Quilt

Here I am back to working on this project.  More than half of the blocks were done from my last go round (Sept 2013) with this project and they were all cut and prepared for sewing so it was easy to put these last blocks together.

Then into a finished quilt top.

Finished Our Father Quilt

Yeah, this was done a while ago but...just enjoy...

Some straight forward outline stitching....

I followed Jenny over at Elefantz and am very pleased with the resulting quilt.

Re - Quilting

I had made my eldest son an orange star quilt when he was in grade mmmm, 11 I think, in 2000.  It was my one and only time using an invisible thread for the quilting.  It turned out to be awful mainly because over time it grew a terrible beard of see through threads...

I took it back into my care after Christmas and began doctoring it.  There was enough intact thread to act as basting so I ran a line of quilting with cotton thread on either side of the original diagonal lines in one direction.

It was a bit troublesome but I wrestled it into submission.

Considering the fabric is 15 years old the quilt is hanging in there pretty well.  I did not find any other problems other than normal wear.
