Here's a few photos of the quilting.
The circles are tiny --- Like the size of a pencil eraser.
The Morning Glories on the windmill are really tiny too --- smaller than an eraser on a pencil. And keep in mind that I take close up photos -- the stitches are really tiny too!
I love thread painting on raw edge applique'. It's like coloring!The wavy lines on the black fabric are about a 1/4 of an inch apart. On the red fabric about 3/8 of an inch apart.
Signed it with my name --- Marcia 2012.
Also stitched If I had a Barn...
Of course this is the back of my quilt. You can see all the stitching and the thread colors.My finished quilt measures 14" by 24".

I named it "If I had a Barn Quilt".
My husband said the nicest thing to me tonight as he looked at my finished quilt : "I wish I could build it for you!" What a wonderful thought!
Enjoy your weekend!
Marcia
