Joan The Shop

A Toot Toot Toot moment for Joan The Shop...
Take the simple 10 Minute Block quilt, as seen on You Tube and give it your own little tweak... in Joan's case she used multiple fabrics for the main part and added some extremely elegant, fussy cut tulle fabric to the Cathedral-ly Window-y bits... use very fancy stitches in variegated thread... add a finishing touch or two to each border... beautiful home designed Daisies for Joan The Shop, there's a trusty caterpillar in this quilt too, can you spot him... it's a little trade mark for our Joan...
Faux piped binding to finish off the whole quilt... Joan used a fancy daisy design to stitch the piped binding... what a great idea!! We almost always try to make the stitching 'invisible' Why? see how good it looks with fancy stitches?

What a great idea to use the fancy stitch for the binding. I've been looking for the caterpillar but think he may have gone into hiding.
