The quilting on this is just a simple back and forth, I wanted to quilt the areas between the peels very heavily and to avoid quilting over the peels in order to make them pop out. This morning I got up early to turn the quilt and quilt the other half of this and I am loving the result! Can you see the backing fabric on this quilt? Nine yards of Good Folks being used on this 100" x 100" quilt! It feels decadent to use this on the back, but I did get it on clearance a long while ago, so that is my excuse.
Happy Australia Day everyone! We won't be traveling anywhere today, but we do have some fun things planned:)

I'm loving this quilt. are the colours appliqued or have you pieced it? Must have been something about the day yesterday, lots of people I spoke to were in a mood - me included!!
I love your quilting on this quilt. Are those petals pieced or appliqued on, I am putting this pattern on my to do list. And I am so glad you have used such a beautiful back.
The quilting is brilliant, I can't wait to see the beautiful end result!
It looks fantastic, J! And that is my favourite Good Folks print on the back :)
Oh....I love this so much!
The quilting is stunning...well the whole quilt is really. Glad you are feeling better :-)
This quilt is beyond amazing! I'm so jealous of that good folks fabric! Mine has long been used up!
This is so pretty. I know I have pinned it and Flickr faved every image I can find. You are super talented. Glad you had a day to relax and unwind with your own quilt!
Beautiful - love the quilting you have done here!

I really love this quilt - and the way you've quilted it.
beautiful quilt Jeannette! I love AMH fabrics - some of my favourites are in the Good Folks line. Love the quilting you've chosen to do too.
I can't even imagine making an orange peel quilt - are all the peel-pieces appliqued by hand or machine? So much work, but so totally gorgeous! Catherine
i just love this quilt! it's beautiful!
Oh Jeannette I love this one. I adore the straight lines too. BEAUTIFUL!!!
The straight line FMQ is an excellent choice to make the Orange Peel pop. Very clever and lovely look. Thank you for sharing!
