Horse Quilt.......#2
Two months ago I made Stormy,
a horse quilt.
It hangs on the wall in our house.
Our family recently drew names for Christmas,
which sent me back to the Thread Shed to create another Stormy Quilt for a gift.
This was definitely a RUSH JOB, but it was still fun!
I put the binding on it today:
Stormy 2
Back Side...
Hanging Triangles in the corners and a dowel
Swimming Noodle
Roll the quilt around the noodle...
This will keep the quilt flat and smooth and easy to transport
This is a gift for my niece for Christmas
Suzy, the Quilting Doggie
stays bundled up under the sewing machine
Suzy doesn't miss a chance to spend time in the Thread Shed

Time to do some sketching
A flower design might work...
I am tracing out the flower shapes onto Fusible Web
Steam A Seam Lite 2
Tracing is done...
Time to audition flower fabrics...
A few more fabrics that might work...
I had a tough time finding fabrics in my stash that would match the color values in this quilt top...I feel my fabrics somewhat limit me at this point.
Fusible Web Applique Shapes Cut Out and Ready to Fuse onto Fabrics
The first flower will be blue and scrappy...
The blue plaid fabrics coordinate nicely with the background
Pink Flower has been started...
Another layer of petals has been added...
Blue Flower is done...
Pink Flower is done...
Auditioning Stem Fabrics...
This green goes nicely with the rest of the fabrics.
I will use it for the flower stems...
The stems are drawn free-hand.
I placed fusible web on the quilt, then drew the stems where they needed to be.
Again, drawing on the fusible web for the stem design needed.
There is no pattern, I am designing as I go...
Time to add some leaves...
With these large applique shapes, I was able to cut most everything free hand with the rotary cutter.
It is much faster and easier than using scissors.
A few leaves have been added...
Applique Work is complete...
The only thing left to do is fuse it all down with the iron!
Oh Yes, there is one other thing...
Clean up the Mess !
The stitch work begins tomorrow...
More to come ~
