. The applique was by machine using a Sharon Schamber technique for preparing the pieces. The prep was a bit labor intensive but the sewing went so fast it was worth it. The double wedding ring center was made using paper piecing and Judy's methods are excellent also. I'm planning to machine quilt it myself after I have it professionally basted. I'm so excited to have it this near completion. My goal for this year in quilting is to finish the things I've started and stop buying more new projects. We'll see how successful I can be with these lofty goals. Wednesday, July 16, 2008
A finished top
I finished this top last week, finally. It was started in January 2007 in a Judy Niemeyer class and has been put away and brought back out several times
