The quilt is much brighter in real life and is similar, but not quite the same as the first one I made. Hopefully, Siblings Together will give the quilts to two sisters. The back is pieced, using a 60 inch wide Ikea fabric with a scrap of pink spot on spot ( just to make the back wide enough to quilt).
The binding fabric was donated to me by Sue Bone. The fabric is a perfect choice for the quilt.
It's quilted very simply with wavy lines so is lovely and soft. I was having a terrible time with the So Fine thread shredding all the time. Still trying to work out why!

I love these Carol, superb job and a quick finish too.
ReplyDeleteA wonderful quilt for a wonderful cause. Great work as always :-)
ReplyDelete😂It is not blue! AND it is as gorgeous as your blue ones! You are so generous!
ReplyDeleteAs you say it would be lovely if two sisters were given these quilts. They're so pretty.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely my style of quilt. Scrappy , and packed full of colour. You did an amazing job. Love them both!
ReplyDeleteIt's a lovely finish! It would be great if they did give them to two sisters! I love the simple quilting and the backing is great. You must be up to about six quilts or so now for ST?
