Dragon Quilt
One of my few Pieced Quilts
 Detail of Pinwheels 7 Feet x 6 Feet |
After I discovered Paula Nadelsterns kaleidoscope quilts, I knew I had to try it for myself! I had only been sewing for about 1 year and this was only my 3rd or 4th quilt. But, I figured I could make it work. |
 Detail of Fabric |
One of the problems I encountered with this quilt was not getting my points to line up. I love to mix fabrics for different textures. However, on this quilt, one I choose was a stretchy cloth. Because it tended to shift when it was sewn, the points didn't line up and my pinwheels were not perfect. |
 Alexander Henry Dragons |
I loved this fabric! This was the first time I used an existing design on the cloth as a guide for my quilting lines. I hand-stitched with gold metallic thread around each dragon on the side panels to finish this part of the quilt. |
 Finished Dragon Quilt |
Since my pinwheels did not turn out as well as I had hoped, I shied away from piecing the edges of this quilt Instead, I sewed a long panel down each side and flipped the backing fabric to the front to finish the edge |
