Tag: let’s Quilt a Mandala

Mandala #4 is underway

Today we are going to get started on Mandala #4!!

I must be getting used to designing these because this one came together like a dream!! I am using the same element several times in the design and am very happy with how it is looking.

I finally realized that these Mandala’s are nothing more than GRID QUILTING in a circle…..

It makes it so much easier for me to think one grid at a time rather than looking at the design as a whole!

Enough talk….let’s quilt……

I am loving the circles with lines coming off of each end…..

… and am now thinking about how I can include those in my “regular” quilting!!

This Mandala will only take 3 weeks to quilt so be sure to come back next Friday for the next two rounds!!

Mandala #3 is in the books

Today I am finishing off quilted mandala #3, continuing with the “straight-ish” lines.

Let’s get to quilting…..

I am truly enjoying this series and love how #3 has turned out……

All in all… a REALLY fun exercise.

One of the challenges with this round was figuring out how to quilt it without a million starts and stops OR having to quilt the actual grid line. That is the reason that one of the T’s dips into the previous round.

What will #4 bring…..WHO KNOWS??

Diamonds filled with wishbones

I am getting really excited about how the third quilted mandala is looking.

Today we are going to add some diamonds, and just for fun, fill them in with wishbones…..

Don’t you agree that this Mandala may be the best one yet?

Of course, I have thought that about every one of them!!

Come back next week as we finish off this Straight-ish LIne Mandala.

I was concerned about this round and wondered if the design would be too heavy for the mandala. But, I think it turned out great!!

Come back next Friday for round 3…..
