FINISHED ! Trip Around JoAnn’s World

Well, I have to say, this quilt was a total joy to finish. As I said in my last post, I bought this top from my friends garage sale many years ago. Two Saturdays ago I basted it, and although I thought that I was going to hand-quilt it,  I machine quilted it this week on my old Singer 15-91 sewing machine, using the method that I described with my last finished quilt, a few posts back.

I couldn't wait........it's a soft Summer-weight quilt, and I wanted to use it NOW !

I simply quilted in the ditch of all horizontal AND vertical seams.  I chose not to quilt anything in the four-inch-wide border.
Finally a quilt that pretty much fits my twin bed !


The backing fabric is the same white with grey print that I used in my big stars of the Shine Brightly quilt.  It is a 108” wide fabric that I bought from Fabric.com.  Buying 8 yards made the price only $4.?? per yard.  It is a lovely soft fabric that also backs my Turquoise Peels quilt.

    Dolly, your quilt turned out lovely. If I could find backing for $4 a yard I would buy up enough for many quilts too. That was a great bargain.
    Wishing you a lovely week filled with lots of smiles. God bless you.
