It’s done!!!

Isaac’s quilt is now complete & drying…..

Isaac

This is the full shot…thanks to all the suggestions etc on what to quilt in the large white area.

In the end I decided to keep it simple and I used the amazing new feature on my Intelliquilter and created a tractor tyre tread that I could put on the path feature so it would curve/turn around the corners nicely. I also used the IQ to do the wheat motifs and then the no sew zone feature over the wheat to then stitch the tyre treads. Worked PERFECTLY!!!

Here is a closer shot

These are of the quilt BEFORE I coloured…I really think it needed the colour to make it stand out.

On another topic!! It was my eldest baby’s 16th birthday a couple of weeks ago. She is a Rubik’s cube nut & can do most of them in record time….this is the cake that her 10 yr old sister created! Not bad eh?
