I must say now, that I don't know why I waited so long!
Of course I was scared to death that I would ruin it in the quilting process. I also didn't quite know how I was going to quilt it. I figured I would get a few more quilts under my belt before I would tackle it!
I ended up straight line quilting the sashing both ways and doing a tight stipple on all of the white areas of the quilt. The pinwheels just pop now.
I cannot believe how much thread I used though! I think I went through 20 bobbins of thread and two very large spools of gutterman cotton thread. I don't think this one is going to fall apart any time soon!
A huge hug to Jennifer and Carla for handpicking the backing and the binding for me! I love it! I really need to take a photo of the back!
What else have I been up to?
I joined the Freckled Whimsy quilt a long and completed this quilt. It is made from the new Moda Bliss line and Kona cotton in Honeydew.
Also, a group of friends and I got together to make our friend Carla a birthday quilt. We each made one block and then I assembled and quilted it. She hung it immediately over her bed. I think she liked it!
It has been a busy summer with yard work, work in general, and now back to school is upon us!
I hope to be able to blog more often!
