Machine-quilted in the ditch of each seam, on my Singer Model 15 sewing machine.
Updating yesterday's pre-finish photos,
I took a few shots today.
I haven't washed the quilt yet. Normally, I CAN NOT WAIT to wash and dry the quilt, and see the crinkly shrunken goodness of a new quilt. But this time, I like it so much, I don't want anything to change.
Time.
I need time.
Hi Dolly, Your new quilt is a beauty and I like how there are maybe no connecting strips?? that throws a novice quilter like me for a loop. Well....I back off then. I have quilt blocks pieced but quit when it was time to connect the borders and strips. Whew! what a confession! I still forgive myself though..lol. Hope your day is just right...=) and hope you are pleased with your new batt, every bit of the quilt and pillows are so lovely.
ReplyDeleteha ha. you're funny. It will look even more awesome washed! Did your batting have a brand name?
ReplyDeleteYou ar 100% right ! I washed the quilt yesterday, and it is now so YUMMILY CRINKLY, I could just wear it as my winter coat to show it to the world ! The batting is Pellon brand, and I'm glad that you asked. I shall add that to the stats at the top of this post.
DeleteLove your string quilt ... and love the name. I just may have to steal that name down the road for a future quilt :)
