KWANDI CONTINUES....et al

 

I've been looking at my Kawandi sitting on my glass top living room
table and thinking---something is missing--something just doesn't
look "finished" to me.....
the stitching looks like "basting"...

And so....
I have begun adding more quilting lines, closer together across the top...
trying to follow the basting lines ....
there is no batting to "catch" knots  at the end of lines
so i have to carefully pull my needle through just the top layer to bury the knots...
or through turned under seams if possible...

It is already looking better to my 👀
I've started in the middle and am working 
my way out switching directions
to try to follow the basting lines--

I would like to make a larger purple 
Kawandi and this time would definitely 
use more and closer stitching lines
during the beginning....instead of
an afterthought...

Live and learn, huh???
This may not be in the original concept of
Kawandi, but it is in my own
"Style",,,,;))))

Pink Ojos is bordered and ready
to be layered
 As is:
My Little Baskets...

A lovely, cool morning here saw us

Riverside on the boardwalk....
