Back to Quilting, Finally!

I made a lovely blue quilt top while teaching a class at The Artful Quilter about 6 months ago and it’s been sitting with a pile of others in my sewing room.  I pinned it yesterday evening after work and quilted it tonight.  It’s made with very busy fabric prints, so i just did a simple meander with a soft green thread.

I got the binding sewn on and will do the hand finishing at bee on Saturday.  It’s so nice to finish a top, isn’t it?  YESSSSSSS!  :-)

  1. I love the blue,Polly. It reminds me of blue china on a lovely dining room table. Yes it is nice to finish a top or even start one. I am so busy sewing and making t-shirt quilts that I have not taken the time to make a quilt for myself for a while.

    I am back into blogging now and I intend to hold a giveaway soon so check me out if you have time.
    Thanks,
    Jerre

  3. I am making my gotta-get-it-quilted-pile grow every week. But the good thing about that is, that at least they are not UFO's anymore. The tops and the backs are sitting in a pile along with fabric for the binding, waiting to be quilted. Someday soon, I will start to tackle that pile, until then, I am enjoying getting all these tops finished and move to that pile instead.

    XOXO,
