I quilted it with white Auriful using freehand walking foot curves... it's been several months since I've done that and I need to use this method more. My husband walked in as I was working on this one and asked "Can you just go wherever you want?". That made me smile and drove home what is so enjoyable about it - fast, easy and FUN!
Swaps were really my thing 6-8 years ago and I have a big stack of 6.5" charms to make many more quilts. I do have a soft spot for novelty prints! Favorites in this quilt include the paint tubes and dogs above and the tools and dragons below. And the cats of course.
Flannel remnants were pieced together for a cozy backing on this 42.5" square quilt and I think the black & white striped binding adds a nice touch.
Charm Quilt #1 will be donated to Project Linus and is UFO Finish #33 for 2013 and #49 since I started quilting again last fall. I'm getting oh so close to crossing the halfway point in my UFO Countdown on my sidebar~!

I love to look at your quilts and see some of my fabrics. Those bees- those are on the backing of the quilt I am working on today. Great job on your progress.
ReplyDeletehow lovely that you donated this quilt. The quilting is great, good idea! I'd love to make an ispy quilt one day
ReplyDeleteI really like this little quilt and the quilting is awesome! I have stacks and stacks of charm squares, maybe I should start making some of these small patchwork quilts.
ReplyDeleteHey, Way To GO with the UFO's! You are really jamming on your list. I've got a huge back-up of them, too, that I'm working on, so it's nice to see other folks in "the club." ;D Nice binding for this one. And yes! Gotta love just going wherever you want to go with that quilting! Thanks for linking up at TGIFF

ReplyDeleteFeels good to finish up doesn't it! Nice job!
ReplyDeleteI love both the ability to put together a multitude of fabrics and the ability to just quilt something without any restrictions or recommendations. I like it when the quilt tells me what it wants. You've finished up a great little quilt and created something someone will love and cherish. Thank you for sharing.
