WIP Wednesday

Quilting has begun on my In From The Cold quilt!  I finished the back and basting this morning and I decided to start with outlining the mugs ~ not IN the ditch, but close to the ditch.




 From there, I thinking of cross-hatching the background because I love that look on other quilts I've seen.  Or maybe I should go with something like the serpentine stitch on this gorgeous quilt by amandajean over at Crazy Mom Quilts?


Here's the back:


I did get 2 more 16-patch blocks done on my Good Night Irene quilt ~ I love the bright colors!

  2. How pretty you're mug quilt is and the back is wonderful! The fabrics in Good Night Irene are so cheerful. Both quilts are going to be beautiful.

  4. I love your pieced backing. I think either quilting style would look great! It depends on if you want to soften the look with curves (like steam) or make them really stand out with the cross hatching.

  5. Your mugs are looking soo cute! I am a fan of the serpentine stitch because it is so easy and effortless. I have done it on a few quilts now, and plan to do it in the future! :) Can't wait to see what you decide!

    Would love for you to stop by and link this up to Fabric Frenzy Friday!

  7. I vote for the serpentine stitch. It goes well with the steam rising from the mugs. :)
