I know. Two posts in one day but I’m so excited I had to share
The quilt top is done and I’m so happy with it
It’s bigger than I thought it would be so a perfect size for a picnic blanket
Or to snuggle under when outside and you want to keep warm
Here it is from another angle
I’ve decided I’ll get it professionally quilted. I wouldn’t know where to start for stitch in the ditch
And an all over quilting will help keep it all together as there are so many joins
So now my stash of scraps is very small and made up of larger pieces
The long pieces of 2.5 cuts I put in my binding pile will go to binding this once it’s quilted
I just have to wait until we open up again
In other exciting news I’ve got all these wicking beds now
Just need to top them up with the actual growing soil and away I can go
We have been very productive this weekend. It must be the sunshine
I’m blissful happy. It really is the little things
Stay safe and well
See ya xx
Beautiful. It's amazing isn't it, just how far the scraps go when you start using them up. I didn't know there is professional quilting service - that would spare me a lot of grief - i love patchworking and so hate quilting. F
ReplyDeleteMy old quilting teacher Does it from her shop
DeleteIn this case I think its money well spent
I love the array of colours. Well done, Angela.
ReplyDeleteAnd you have sunshine to warm your soul. Happy days even if you still have lockdown
Sort of looks like what I would call Gypsy quilt. Your quilt looks fun and taking it on picnic sounds like great ideal.
