A finish :-)

Finished Comfort quilt #1 a couple of days ago, and got to take a photo of it today. 
 The owner is happy about how it turned out :-)

 A close up of the quilt:
 I used an allover pattern (pantograph) and light grey variegated thread. 
I have been quilting the "Spools" quilt, and today I could start playing on the white background. I love the McTavishing pattern, even if it's sooo difficult to do but I hope to get it look better as I move along. It's the first time I try the So Fine! thread. It will hide some of the threadplay that comes with quilting this background filler, and I hope it hides some of my mistakes as well :-)
I got the idea for the quilting the spools from Kathy, a blog friend of mine. She is a proffesional longarm quilter, and I love her quilting. She suggested to quilt some straight lines across in matching thread to give the texture of thread on a spool. Thanks so much for your advice Kathy :o)

    Wow, the spools look great and your McTavishing is wonderful!! Great combination. Glad I could help :)
    The comfort quilt is fantastic too, my favourite colours.

    Så lekkert!

    Jeg er så vidt i gang med samme teppe, med litt andre fargekombinasjoner. Blir spennende å se hvordan det blir!

    Lekkert, lekkert. Teppet i geometriske former ble utrolig stilig og trådspolene er jo bare så søte.
