Recently a friend of mine celebrated a milestone anniversary. Part of the celebration was making this super-sized king quilt top and shams...and getting them to me to finish so they could enjoy it for their big day. She even had me bind the quilt so all she had to do was present her labor of love. Keep in mind this was her second try at quilting. Amazing!
It's been sewn entirely in batiks except the very center block she cross-stitched. She wanted custom quilting only in this block to highlight its sentiment. I chose to SID (stitch in the ditch) around the 'frame' and to quilt the entire block in scallops or clam shells...a nice design choice considering it's a sea theme :).
Not everything that may be worthy of custom quilting needs it. This project proves that.
