The picture is a bit off because it is at night and taken by lamp light. I am now doing what I hate most about quilting---binding! Since I really don't like sewing on binding, I have decided to put it on and sew it down as soon as I am finished quilting a quilt (I also finished 2 baby quilts--but the binding is already on one, I just need to hand stitch it down and then move on to the next one). The binding is chocolate polka dots---I really think it adds to the quilt.
This quilt was made with about 4 charm packs. I don't remember the names of them, they were purchased in Puducah doing at least 2 quilt shows. As I remember, a couple of them were only $3 so I purchased several.
I didn't show the backing, but it is old fashioned ticking. All in all, I like this quilt---as I said it is truly utility. It just seems so spontaneous to me. The quilting is simple meandering--it was too busy for anything else.
Well I have to work tomorrow and I am sleepy. I'm gonna go and iron a uniform and then crawl into bed. Happy dreams!
Hugs!
I really love it!
ReplyDeleteLove your disappearing 9 patch and the colors to.
ReplyDeleteIt's lovely! I am working on one of those now and it doesn't look nearly as nice as yours!
ReplyDeletePatricia,
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on a gorgeous finished quilt! I am with you...I do not like to make bindings. It is such a great feeling when the binding is done.
