So, here is what is going into the rest of those blue squares. Each will have a different crest design. Some are fairly easy and a few are quite detailed making the quilting a bit difficult to do
These crests are intersecting cloves, maple leaf, rabbit in the moon, chrysanthemum
, cloves of Japanese ginger, and ginkgo leaves. I am still fumbling a bit with stitch length because it is difficult to quilt through the rather thick batting and catch enough of the backing.

My hope is to meet the expectations of the group and move the project to a point where we will not face panic at the eleventh hour.
Just beautiful. I've always liked Japanese crests
ReplyDeleteWow! Your quilting stitches look fantastic to me. Just beautiful! I love the rabbit... :)
ReplyDeleteThis quilt looks so beautiful!!♥
ReplyDeleteThe crests are looking beautiful Julie, the second from the bottom - cloves of Japanese ginger, looks very complicated with its intense stitching.
ReplyDeleteThese are so beautiful Julie! I'm amazed that you can quilt through a thick batting and catch the back at all. That's always my biggest problem even if it's a thin batting. This quilt is simply gorgeous. blessings, marlene
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous!! They are beautiful!! You've done a tremendous job!
ReplyDeleteThank you for posting about the thimbles. I would love to pay you for them or send you something from the states that you need!
I love all the Sashiko crest designs you have done. I am making a quilt with similar Sashiko designs, although using many fabrics and colors of thread.
ReplyDeleteWonderful! Thanks for posting.
