Today I've quilted the main panel of my mono-printed quilt. I've used similar coloured thread to the background and colours in the print so the print remains the focus of the piece. On the main amphorae I didn't want a conflicting pattern to confuse with the busyness in the print so I decided to quilt in uneven lines reminiscent of cracks in the old vase. It's hard to see what I've done in the photo so here is a picture of the back so you can see the stitching lines.
As you can see I've not put a backing on yet. I'm going to use the envelope style which is really quick and has the advantage of hiding any mess or mistakes that appear on the back. Tomorrow I hope to have the whole top quilted.
