Be glad that this photo is slightly blurred, because them fingers ain't purty !
But the quilt is, and that's what's important.
Lord willing, I will trim the edges tomorrow, and bind it, probably
with the white fabric
that I used for the skinny border.
So here are the photos.
First, the quilt when I finished basting it in my frame on
the front deck.
You can see what I meant about it already looking
like a quilt, and yet, not the design I was going for.
Next, a close-up of a corner........
And for the back, .......a pretty, soft flannel in pale yellow........
If she really has her heart set on a wholecloth quilt,
she can always turn the quilt to this side.
And last, but not least,
the pieced front.
The center and the corners look
like they are the same fabric, in this photo.
But they are not. The center is like a tea-dye,
only paler,
and the corners are a beautiful soft floral in the same shade.
You can make out the fabric a little better
in this shot.
Not quite a whole-cloth quilt, but hopefully satisfying,
in this shot.
Not quite a whole-cloth quilt, but hopefully satisfying,
while being just a little bit
more interesting.
Now, let's hope it squares up well
tomorrow, under the ruler and rotary cutter !
Dolly, that is absolutely lovely. I can't believe you quilted it that fast! You just amaze me. Now those poor fingertips can take a well-deserved rest.
