Finishing Well

Yesterday, we ogled some of Janet Stone’s quilts. As I walked through the gallery, I was continuously impressed with her finishing techniques.

Let’s take a look…..

When I first looked at this, I thought the black and white had been embroidered in place, but now I think it is simply a black-and-white print fabric used as part of a flange.

However it was done……it is SO effective!!

……

Not only are these prairie points perfect, but each is also embellished….

…..

This one is just a simple use of a striped fabric, but using it in two places along the border added so much interest!!

….

Look at the elegance of the quilting and these curved edges. The addition of the gold embellishment just added to the ambiance!!

…

More embellished prairie points, AND a stripe…..

…..

Isn’t this a fun way to edge a quilt…..

…..

THEN there are these circles…..

….all fully embellished, of course!!

…..

The red triangles are “inward-looking” prairie points. Combined with the red checked binding, it is unbeatable!!

I am in the process of organizing a new guild program, titled “From UFO to TADA!!”. One of the things I am going to talk about is finishing techniques, and you can be assured that MANY of these will make an appearance!!

One of my favorite things about quilting is motivating others and helping them in their quilting journey. As part of this endeavor, I LOVE to present programs and workshops to groups and guilds around the world. All of my programs work well with Zoom meetings, and I would love to speak to your group.
