I quilted this project several months ago, and it took me until just last week to finally bind it. I love the quilting on this one, although, don't look too close! This arch design is hard to execute smoothly on a standard machine.
I'm still unsure of how this embroidery pattern will wear over time, but I love this addition to the design. It's something unique that I've never attempted before.
I originally intended to back this quilt with minky, but ultimately opted to back it with a Target sheet I've had in my stash for a long time. I also pieced together a few sections of the leftover fabric. I really didn't want any of this left. These prints are not ones I see myself using again. Making quilt backs like this are my favorite because it uses up the leftovers in a constructive way without wasting anything or increasing my stash size.
The final size is 60" x 72", which I think is the perfect throw size.
Your embroidery just makes the quilt sing!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt. The quilting looks great.
ReplyDeleteThe solids sure work nicely with those fabrics. I did not really like the prints from the challenge much either but I do love your quilt.
ReplyDeleteThis turned out lovely! I had similar feelings about mine. Glad yours finished into something you can be proud of.
ReplyDeleteVery nicely done. Your quilting looks wonderful and I love the backs that use up leftovers. That's one of my favorite things to do too.!

ReplyDeleteI didn't like the fabric at the time I was doing the challenge, but now it is one of my favorite groupings. Great job on quilt and finishing it. Sincerely, Paula K.
ReplyDeleteIt really came out great. I wasn't too excited about the fabric either but I love what you did with it.
