Blocks were joined into strips, strips were joined into a quilt top, a backing was made, wadding cut to size, basting happened.....it take a lot to get from some patchwork blocks into something that is layered and ready to quilt, doesn't it?
You can see here the paisley that I chose for the backing, and plain pale pink that I used in an inserted strip to bring it up to the right size.
I suspect that it might find a place in my quilt heap for the moment (it's quite chilly when you are trying to enjoy a cuppa with friends outside this month) although ultimately it will be given away.
Finished it was 54" square - perfect for a lap quilt!
We’ve seen a few friends outdoors and it’s been great to be able to offer quilts to keep people warm!!!
ReplyDeleteBut I had to double check the burgundy and grey. I was expecting something strong and this is softly understated.
