Last week I said I was taking time off my Good Fortune Quilt to work on some quilting.
This baby quilt has been delivered.
The Flintstones tie dye fabric was from childhood curtains that belonged
to my great niece's dad as a child.
He had them hanging in every home he lived in.
After his death, my niece held on to the curtains to make keepsakes for their daughters.
Both girls with have a quilt made using the fabrics.
It was an emotional journey for me so I can only imagine what my nieces felt when they saw it.
I loved making this quilt.
Since I was in the quilting mood,
The backing was with the top so when I cut batting for the baby quilt,
I cut for this quilt and Garden Party.
Quilting was simple and pretty quick.
When it got time to choose binding,
I decided to trim up the excess backing and use it.
I love a scrappy binding.
I also pin basted Garden Party but had to unpin and repin.
I had a huge fold in the back
How did that happen!
I had trimmed up the excess backing and batting to make less bulky
and was quite surprised at how big the fold really was.
All better now and ready to quilt.
Since I was basting,
I grabbed 3 more off the mountain.
Now there are 2 on the ready to quilt pile with
2 more ready to pin baste.
So Thank You
Julie for the idea to get a few quilts basted for when the mood strikes.
That should use up most of my pins.
