I did it! I somehow managed to finish my Focus Through the Prism Flying Geese challenge quilt for September in the midst of crazy apple season! Whew! I haven’t found time to photograph it in the perfect evening light though … so this harsh morning light picture will just have to do. This one is called ‘Over the Top.’ I had a lot of fun free motion quilting this piece! These 20” quilts are just perfect for practicing my free motion skills on. They’re the perfect size for my domestic machine and small enough that if something isn’t quite perfect it’s really not a big deal. And of course … this is the third of series of quilts I’ve done for this quilt. The bottom one is ‘Grounded Origins,’ the middle one is ‘Centered in the Orchard’ and the top one is ‘Over the top’. I tried to get a better picture this afternoon but of course it was too windy! I’ll post one as as soon as I can so you can see better how the tree goes throughout the quilts … it’s pretty cool if I do say so myself. Linking up to Finish It Up Friday.

I can see the tree just fine! Of course, I didn't catch it at first look and I'd love to see them in person. I'm quite tactile and want to touch everything! When people touch my quilts, I am honored, which should explain that just a bit. I love that your quilts look random but really aren't once you look closely and take it all in. They are very artful in that way: a close look and a distant look reveal very different pictures and emotions. Somehow I'm not expressing what I really want to, but I'm hoping you get the general idea that I really appreciate your triptych.

I see the tree, too! Very creative. I'm in awe of the way you had the big picture in your head when you began these.
I also like the way you quilted the leaves on 'Over the Top'. I need to try some like that, with the center line.
