Journey Of A Design - Part 2

After taking a couple of weeks to complete my SBS top, I really have to finish off a few of these new designs, so its back to the Guiding Angel stitchery:

So this was were I left off in Part 1, a completed stitchery. Now for the borders.....I wanted to use something that I havent tried before, so I went for a Pioneer Braid:

A few practise ones to work out the sizing and the colour combinations. These were actually quite quick and easy and lots of fun!! And Im happy with the effect:

This Winter range of fabric is just so pretty and soft. So then its time for the quilting:

Nothing too fancy, just following the lines of the braid. I love this colour cotton, its called Snowflake and it has a lovely shimmer to it.

So nows its all quilted and bound its time to go back over my notes and start the pattern writing process......more on that, next time!!
