So I made this ages ago but have finally quilted it all. I posted about the making of it here.
As there were a lot of different styles of blocks I decided to quilt in an overall flower and loop pattern as anything that was rigid lines or diagonals would clash with various blocks. I used a quilting pattern that Crazy Mum Quilts had put on her blog one time. I am pleased with the result.
The back of the quilt is in a 1970's flannel that was donated and the binding in a black and white spot. Also donated.
Happy to be finished.
I link up to these places and finish it up friday with Crazy Mum Quilts.
Well done you, such an inspiration to keep at it!
ReplyDeleteThis is a fab quilt! I appreciate it that you have decided to gift this even though it is clearly a time-intensive design. I love the green centre!
