I finally got around to quilting one of the donated tops from the pile of charity quilts. This one is a crackers quilt that looks like an assortment of true vintage fabric, reproductions and not-as-old calicoes.
This one was a challenge to quilt. It was not flat, square or straight. It's puffy and wavy, but there are no puckers. It is what it is.
I wanted to document some of my favorite prints.
As awesome as the aqua apples are, I love the shade and texture of the blue solid.
This pink one looks vintage to me. It was rather thin.
A fun baby print.
This blue floral looks like a reproduction I had once, but the red looks and feels vintage.
It was fun to hand stitch the binding while watching the Olympics. If you like the pattern, Moda Bake Shop has a modern version using a charm pack.
very nice and good to see close ups of some of the fabrics
ReplyDeletei love this sweet little quilt and think your quilting compliments it perfectly!!!
ReplyDeleteI think it looks great! Is it weird that I kind of enjoy the challenge of working with someone else's quilt? Even when it is wonky. Maybe more so when it is wonky. :)
