What's exciting is that my straight quilting skills have improved. It's almost all straight this time :0)!!
The middle piece for the back was a test piece I initially used when I was trying to figure out the sizes for the blocks and it was a tad too big. I used to as a starting off point and added more Kona white and AB goodness until I got this:
I originally planned to quilt along in the other direction too but had second thoughts when I realized it would look too much like graph paper in the back .
Ya'll wanna see my view when I'm attaching the binding to the back? The other one's under the quilt. You can see a little bit of his ear if you look hard enough. They love to snuggle in the quilt and snooze while I sew on the binding. Speaking of bindings, love, love, love polka dots for bindings!
This little beauty finished at 56"x58".
So I'm really thinking I might do this lil pattern with the Summer Soiree fabrics I've been jonesing for... But trying to figure out what to use where you have white...
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome! Love those yummy colors all together. Love the quilting too. Just fantastic!
ReplyDeleteI love the simplicity of this pattern, it sets off the fabrics beautifully! Great job!
ReplyDeleteI just wuv it....;o)
ReplyDeleteChen, this quilt is gorgeous! I love it! simple yet so beautiful! I'm going to try this one someday!
ReplyDeleteHow sweet are your pups? Mine like to lay their head on the presser foot while I quilt. Leads for a little surprise when I think I am stopping. My cat likes to lay on the extra portion of the quilt on the table when I am actually quilting. Not to helpful, but oh so sweet. =]

ReplyDeleteWhere'd you go Chen??
ReplyDeleteHi Chen I cannot seem to get a hold of you through emails, and I was wondering how you were doing on the Halloween blocks, could you please get back to me. Thank you, Jane
ReplyDeleteHi Chen, I have tried every way I can think of to get a hold of you, the blocks are due and I have not heard a word. In fairness to the others in your group.
