My MQG Michael Miller challenge quilt is finished – except for the hand-sewing.\u00a0 (I’m accumulating quite a pile of quilts that need facings sewn down and\/or sleeves sewn on.)<\/p>\n

Last week<\/a>, I had the circle and the background pieced, and pinned to my design wall.\u00a0 I top-stitched the circle to the background, using the freezer paper templates to position them.<\/p>\n

I decided to go with straight-line quilting, random lines on the diagonal, somewhat following the seams in the circle.\u00a0 I liked the subtle plaid effect on the background, and so in two of the corners I added a couple of lines of quilting in the opposite direction.\u00a0 I also quilted just outside the circle.\u00a0 I used a gold viscose thread which doesn’t show up very well in photos.\u00a0 But I took a snap of the back before I faced it, which shows the quilting really well.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The edges are faced, and the finished size is 20 x 25 inches.\u00a0 I’m calling it ‘Bling on the Bias’.<\/p>\n

Here’s what it looks like from the front.\u00a0\u00a0 Black and white are notoriously difficult fabrics to photograph, and the silver and gold just add to the difficulty in getting a good photo.\u00a0 After several very washed-out photos with my regular camera, I tried my iPhone and got a much better image.\u00a0 I may try again later in different light.<\/p>\n
