Some Progress on Fancy Squares and Quote Quilt
I added some trim to the intersections of Fancy Squares quilt. This is the same trim that was used in Maximalist and the Inspirational Quote crazy quilt. I was worried that the trim might be too big and might take away the pattern, but I like the way it looks. Now I have to figure out how to do the edges. I might add a binding, but I am hoping to find some kind of trim.
I added the fusible to the back of the Inspirational Quote crazy quilt. It is Pellon fusible fleece. I am hoping that it doesn't add too much bulk that makes it difficult to reach the middle of the quilt, but so far it is okay. As a bonus, that means the quilt was pressed again. I have to wrinkle it to reach the part I am embroidering, and all the wrinkles were bothering me. I will probably be pressing it more, but that has a bonus too - the quotes are going to be thoroughly heat set.
From this distance, it is hard to see that there is embroidery on this quilt.

I love the quirkiness of your fancy squares. It should look authentically "old" by the time you are finished. I imagine you will hand quilt this? Your inspirational quote quilt is looking more charming all the time. What a treasure that will be!
That trim is the perfect touch for your Fancy Squares quilt.
Beautiful quilts, love both of them!
I also like the trim added to your Fancy Squares quilt. I wouldn't worry about your embroidery not showing in the picture - the quilt will be something people will want to hold, read, and look at closely so they don't miss anything...anyway that's what I would want to do.
I think your Fancy Squares look great with the trim!
Have fun embroidering! The quote quilt will be so worth the work when it is done!
I absolutely love those flowers you added! They look fantastic, really add flair!
Love the trim you added to the Fancy Squares quilt! Very nicely done.
Fancy Squares is a vision...love it! How lovely to have a quilt with many of your favourite quotes right before you. You will spend much time, reading them and pondering upon the words.
