Here is the watercolor quilt, completed. My favorite of all the quilts I've made to date. Finishing this one has me fired up to move ahead with finishing various in-progress quilt tops and even more - moving on to new ones that aren't the traditional ones I've made in the past.
I machine piece and hand-quilt. I love the hand-quilting aspect of this work. I also draw my quilting patterns free-hand rather than relying on purchased quilting templates. I prefer the softer and more unpredictable result of that over either machine quilting or the uniformity of templates. It reflects more of how I feel about the beauty of the world at large - the recognition of the power or uniqueness rather than marching to another's tune.
