Another very densely custom quilted finish.  First I just did this design in pink and I was happy with it and moved on to quilting the sashing.

FMQ-1

Once I finished quilting the sashing I decided that I needed to add a little more quilting.  I came back in with orange thread and added the inner petals filled in with pebbles. Still not satisfied I added the inner orange loops.

Then I decided to fill the orange loops with thread to give it more dimension. I was happy with the final design so I advance the quilt and moved on to the next section.. Then I got the bright idea to do some dense quilting in the background to allow the design to really pop forward. I lost track of how much time I put into the FMQ in the 15 white squares but it was substantial.

I had a lot of fun quilting this wall hanging  It was fully custom quilted and I used two layers of batting: a stiff fusible one (so that it will hang flat and firm) and a high loft polyester.  It gave amazing depth to the peacocks and the flowers.   I took pictures today in the shade and in full sun.  Although the full sun pictures fade out the colours, they definitely show off the dimension created by the quilting and the double batting.

I just love how the quilting shows up on the back of the quilt….such dimension.
