On the back of The Lily Quilt

Not what you need when you're trying to do

teeny tiny stitches to secure your applique vines down...

 

But she is very sweet

and I guess she's showing her appreciation

for the art of quilting...
and she is lovely company!
 

She's sitting on the back of a white quilt

(thankfully, it's the back!!!)

But it shows all the papers that are still in the quilt

from my English-Paper-Piecing method

of Marti Mitchell's Carolina Lily quilt.
 

 

As I've said before, Marti's pattern is for machine sewing,

but I like to hand-sew.

I also like to leave the papers in until I'm done.
(Luckily I have left the papers in as they act as a cat hair barrier LOL)

I Paper-pieced the borders on as well. 

That required sellotaping large pieces of paper together

to make my border templates.

All good quilty fun ;o)
