Welcome 2023!
This is not a great photo. I was slipping around in the mud trying to keep the quilt from getting dirty!
I started with the Bill Cody panel and added quarter square triangles that my friend Linda has given me. I machine quilted on the diagonal. Even though I say it is complete I want to add a few hand quilting stitches in the panel itself.
This star print came on the panel and I used it around my label.
I'm sharing this photo so you can up close the backing and binding fabric.
You can see here that the center needs a little quilting. Overall I'm super happy with it.
It measures approx 45"x58"
The next little one
The center is a small George Washington panel.
If you click to get a better look the first fabric that surrounds it is similar, but different.
I only had a little of this great fabric so had to piece the back for the little quilt.
So grateful to Sharon for sharing a little fabric with me so I could keep the binding fabric consistent with the other blue star fabric.
It feels great to use those panels! I have a couple of George Washington panels if anyone is interested shoot me an email at humblequilts@gmail.com
I hope you are ready to link up- at least your top! I cannot wait to see the quilts you have created. If you don't know how to link up feel free to send me a photo.
Thanks Lori for this challenge - it really did challenge me! I love both of your panels, especially all those hourglass squares surrounding the Bill Cody panel - they were the perfect finish for that panel.
ReplyDeleteYou did a beautiful job, love the backing too!
