There is a quilt show coming up in September, and I have been working to finish at least ONE quilt to enter in the show! (At the quilt show 2 years ago, I entered 5 quilts!) I make a lot of quilts, but end up giving them all away! I will ask Aidan if I can borrow his quilt (Argyle) that I gave him last Christmas to put in the show. I also gave a quilt to Drew (Asteroid), but won't ask him to send it up from Georgia. Too bad, that is a beautiful quilt too! I am working on Something Blue, but don't know if I can finish it in time. The could be the Fan quilt to enter, if Dianne and I get it put together in time for me to quilt it. Sooooo! Whirligig is my only entry so far! I finally finished it, and it turned out really really nice!
I quilted it with black thread. This was, for me, a bold and risky color choice, as it WILL show --black thread against bright colors! The backing fabric is black, so that looks great. If there were any tension problems, you just can't see them! I echoed the shapes of the whirligigs, but it's not a continuous line, so there was a lot of breaking of thread and knots. I will do it differently next time. But it still looks ok. Here it is:
