Earlier this week I shared about a smocked quilt I'd made as a demo for The Quilt Show that I hadn't really liked in the end. After taking out the smocking stitches and overpainting, I re-smocked, and here's the finished piece!
The final piece is 42" x 24" x 3". The original squared up finished quilt was 55" high by 41" wide to give an idea how much is sucked up by the smocking. I used a 2.75" grid for this one and I think it worked out fine.

Love the colors on this. Those smocked quilts are really cool.
