before and after

i thought you might enjoy seeing a before quilting and after quilting shot of the same quilt to show how the quilting really does 'change' a quilt.

here's the before. this is madeline's quilt from a LQS's BOM program....it is a slightly busy quilt, so we agreed that it just needed an E2E....

here's the after.....see the difference? isn't it amazing how the quilting changes a quilt, but adds so much....it has textural interest now....

  1. I love the colours in the quilt -

    Thank you for your "before and after" shots. They add weight to the saying that "A quilt's not a quilt until it's quilted".

    Thank you for sharing.

  5. thank you for the lovely comments!

    Anne in Aust- it isn't a panto. it's my signature E2E i call Cotton Candy. all my quilting is freemotion. i don't own any pantos...thanks for asking, the fact you thought it was a panto is a very nice compliment in my book :)

    I love what you did with this quilt, Shannon. The E2E suits it perfectly and you're right, it really gives it such lovely texture. Awesome job!
