Beth,
I'm a fairly new quilter but I have that magazine. )
Is it called "Fresh Cut Flowers" and it is a finished size of 15" by 35"?
The Quilting and Finishing instructions say "Layer and baste quilt top for
quilting method of your choice. Joyce machine quilted using a wide (1/2" -
3/4" free-motion zigzag with green thread to secure the stems.
Using gold or green thread (to match fabric), Joyce covered each flower and
leaf with a free- motion design that roughly follows the template shape.
The fun of Joyce's quilting is that it is not precise. Lines cross, and no
lines are spaced evenly, adding a natural, dimensional feel to the piece.
Using thread to match magenta background, Joyce quilted an allover swirl
pattern. The olive green background was quilted with wavy lines parallel to
the seam with machine thread.
Beth.........I can try to scan whatever else you need or I can send you the
magazine or the portion of what you would like,
Susie


.........but need to know how the project
is quilted.
Thanks for your help.
