Finished
Pieced by Cheryl and already shipped to Jay along with 3 other quilts for his Nursing Home project.
I finished the binding the other night but had to repair a couple seams that worked loose when I washed the quilt. I thought I could use an applique type stitch that wouldn’t be seen but the gap and fraying were too much so I had to do a narrow zigzag to make sure the seam was secure. It’s not noticeable looking at the overall quilt so I think it will be fine.
I also got the 2nd quilt from yesterday trimmed and the binding made and machine stitched. If I feel up to it I’ll work on stitching it down but I have another killer headache so we’ll see.
Gosh this is a really delightful, happy quilt!
Really pretty quilt.
Very pretty quilt – love the blue/yello combo and the fussy cutting! 8-)) Someone will love it.
The quilt is great, I love Ohio stars, one of my favorite. I hope your headache goes away. I get migraines brought on, sometimes, by weather changes. I get nervous when cold fronts move through.
Great quilt! Love it! Bet someone in a nursing home will too.
What a cheerful quilt. That will surely brighten someones day.
How lovely and cheerful this quilt is.
What a bright fun quilt! Isn’t it fun–even with some fray outs to just feel the warmth of the quilt after washing. I love the way they puff up. You are really cranking them out!
The narrow border around the main quilt top makes everything just pop. Nice Job!
Mary, What do you mean by washing the quilt before mailing? Everyone does something different, but I am always looking for great hints/techniques. I like knowing that everything will stay together so I generally wash a quilt if it is one that I have made, but when I quilt for someone else I am more hesitant. Maybe your method is one that I would like to try.
Since I live in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area, now, I find many of your observations and photos to be things that I have or want to experience, as well. Because my husband is in the Navy I have also lived in many of the places you go to visit, so thanks for rekindling fond memories. Keep up the great work.
The blue – yellow to me has a bit of a French Country feel that I adore-such wonderful colors ..yum
