QUEEN'S CROWN #2 (small quilt with beads - hand quilted)




QUEEN'S CROWN

Supplies:

  • 1 pre-printed 18" block from  https://www.quiltingstencils.com/ 
  • 22" piece of muslin for backing
  • 22" piece of batting (I used left over poly)
  • Glass beads in your choice of color (I used dark blue and gold/yellow)
  • Quilting thread (I used cream colored)
  • Binding fabric


To start, I thread basted this very well in a bright thread that would not blend in.  I did not use a hoop or frame but just rolled it up in my hand.  I started the quilting in the center and worked on it in quarters.

The beads are quilted on - every time the needle came up through the top, a bead was put on the needle and I completed that quilting stitch. Time consuming, but makes for a pretty finished project.

Once complete, I washed by hand and laid between 2 white pillow cases in yard and allowed to dry flat.
