Pieceful Sunday: Amazing Grace Quilt

 Welcome to Pieceful Sunday! What piecing project have you been working on this week? I love piecing and seeing other people's pieced projects. That's why I started this Linky Party. I wanted to help form a community of quilters who love piecing as much as I do. Come link up your piecing projects, both in-progress and completed! Then go see the piecing of others by following the links. Encouraging comments are welcome!

This week I have been working on my version of the Amazing Grace Quilt. I purchased this quilt as a kit from Shabby Fabrics. It is based on a panel with coordinating fabrics from Kennsington Studios through Quilted Treasures. I pieced it several years ago, but I am finally ready to quilt it! See a photo of the quilt top on my longarm below.

I love the colors in this quilt! I also love the hymn Amazing Grace, so I am glad that I am finishing it this week. As you may know from previous posts, I have been working on free motion quilting. I continue my adventures here. Below is a photo of quilting on the inner border.  I tried alternating side to side circles to fill the turquoise border.

In the corners I used a template and pounce powder to make a simple design. See the photo below.

The third border, shown in the photo below, has circles with some loops in a single line. The third border is a smaller scale with loops and circles in more a meandering pattern. The center panel will be similar only in a larger scale. I can hardly wait to finish it!
