Chirp is finished!

I met my self-imposed deadline and finished the Chirp quilt this past weekend!

Quilting it was nerve wracking, to say the least. This was my first attempt at quilting a wool appliqué quilt. I’m fairly happy with the result.

I have to give a lot of credit to Daisy, my Bernina Q20. Without stitch regulation, this would have been VERY hard!

The details:

Pattern: Chirp by Sue Spargo

Embroidery thread:

Eleganza 5 and 8 wt cotton from Wonderfil Specialty Threads. Most of my Eleganza is from the Sue Spargo collection but they have tons of other colors too.

Wool:

I’ve been collecting felted wool for a while and from different sellers. My favorite is Olympic Woolworks. Darlene is always helpful and will send swatches if I’m not sure of a color. She will also dye wool on demand if it happens to be out of stock.

Quilting thread:

I quilted this using Superior Threads Microquilter on the top and So Fine 50wt on the back.
