My brother will turn 60 on December 29th and I wanted to make a quilt to commemorate the occasion. Fortunately, I had the top and backing assembled earlier this fall. I finished the quilting yesterday using the wavy line "pattern" that I love on jelly roll quilts.
I used a wider spacing for the lines and like how it turned out. Hopefully, it will be a fluffier quilt when it comes out of the dryer.
(The backing isn't gray or gray-green but a gray-tan,
more like the little spacers on the top.)
My goal for today is to get the binding on and run the quilt through the wash.
I need to try quilting something like this--I really like the look. Nice job!
ReplyDeleteYou re doing so well for someone who is supposed to be taking it easy!
ReplyDeleteLove the look of the quilting on the back......
ReplyDeleteI remember admiring that way of quilting when you showed it to us, Freda. Needless to say I haven't got round to trying it myself ... yet!
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday to your brother. :o)
I remember the quilt. I love the quilting! I'm going to have to try that out. While I was rummaging and "organizing" my quilt room, I came across some bali pops. I've been trying to bind two quilts this week. One is done and out of the dryer and the other just has a few of the sides left to hand stitch the binding down. I started doing all four corner first, so that they are "out of the way" and then I do the sides in between. In the long run I doubt that it goes any faster, it just seems like it! Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteYour quilting is perfect for this quilt! I love the way the quilts look after going through the wash!
ReplyDeleteGreat way to machine quilt, especially on jelly rolls. Your brother will be surprised.
