I finished the piecing last weekend
then sandwiched it together and started quilting. I completed a little bit every night.
Finally finishing the quilting today. I am really thrilled with the pattern. I tried using loops around the edge for the first time and quilted a lot more closely than I normally do.
Trying to take a photo of it finished and on the bed when a slightly hyped up boy (typical of a Friday after school) jumps in the photo. It had been book week this week at school which ended in a character parade. Eli went as Goldilocks (he has a wig he bought two years ago that is attached to a hat and plaited as two pigtails) and won the prize for the best costume in his class. It takes a confident boy to carry that off!!!!
Instead of using a zip closing in the back I used domes so that it is easy on and off and easy to wash.
That's a great design! I've never tried paper piecing, but one day . . . I haven't had time for sewing for a bit, but I do love it. I come by here just to admire your lovely works!
ReplyDeleteI admire Eli, too, especially for going as Goldilocks to a school function. Confident, indeed! ~ Linne
