This panel is filled with lots of colours, so quilting it is requiring some creative solutions. I had a roll of sulky variegated thread which has been used in the high colour changing areas at the bottom of the panel.
The picture shows some vines, wisteria maybe that is hanging down from the arch? Sometimes it helps to start with an element to highlight and go from there.
The mane or hair has all these swirls and curls, so those were followed and highlighted as well.
The straight lines on the dress and the crystal clusters was quilted in straight lines too.
The quilting is fairly dense, before basting and quilting the top measured 55 x 65 inches.
After the quilting, before washing it is now 53 x 64 inches. Next up is the binding, it is cut out and needs to made and added to the quilt. Will be doing that with the rainy weather today, it has been raining here yesterday as well.
Beautiful detailed quilting. Lots of work, but worth it in the end.
