I still have the last three rows to sew on and if you don't examine too closely it lines up pretty well for my first attempt. I have a solid grey border and a deep red binding but before I get to bind I need to quilt and I need to buy a walking foot for the machine. I can see quilts getting to a certain point and then I chicken out of the quilting.My next project will be a granny square quilt for my niece. My Mother in Law is the one that has got me interested in quilting and this is her first ever quilt she made for youngest daughter.
I love the one she made below for eldest daughter which has a temporary home here whilst she is living in Singapore but I think the silky material and appliqued hearts drove poor MIL mad.
If you popped by looking for art journalling I have been busy but the pages are not for sharing as I have been having some dark days.
I'm linking this to WIP Wednesday at Freshly Pieced where I go for my weekly fixes of inspiration.
That's fab.... I suspect it will be the first of many!
ReplyDeletelookin' good! and looks like a lot of hard work - well done.
ReplyDeleteWow, great quilt - and only your first. Don't chicken out, I'm sure the quilting will be fine :-)
ReplyDeleteYour patchwork looks great! I'm looking forward to seeing it all finished.
ReplyDeleteThank you for leaving a comment on my blog, it is much appreciated!
That's looking great, love the slightly rustic feel of the colours!
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is coming along beautifully!! You wont be able to stop at one quilt, it's too much fun!!
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is beautifully put together, and definitely worth putting the effort into quilting. I hope you will share it with us when you've finished. Of course you'll be wanting to start another...and another ... :-))
ReplyDeleteThat silky material would be my ticket to the loony bin!
ReplyDeleteHi Sally. The quilt looks amazing. Love the colours. Would not have been able to cope with the silky material!
