Quilts Return: Orange Bullseye

Like the Lobster, the Orange You Glad has returned. The quilting is done and I have to sew down the binding.

I was glad to have a few months break, especially over the holidays where I had little time to stitch anyway. Now I am close to finishing the La Pass rosettes and will have more time to sew down bindings and sew on sleeves.

One of the things I like about this quilting is motif depicting rays that Colleen did around each of the circles. Simple, but effective.

She did a great job avoiding the raw edges. I always warn her, but you never know. So far, on all of these Bullseyes, I haven’t had any folded edges. That makes me very happy.

In the center of the circles is a simple spiral. She would have done something better, but I couldn’t think of anything.

There is enough quilting to keep the thing flat as a pancake, which is my preference.

Finally, the back looks good. I know I was sick of the quilt when I made the back, but the large pieces are really effective. I like seeing those big flower prints in all their glory.

All in all, I was very pleased with the price. Four quilts, a tablerunner and two pieces of foam were very economical.
