Yeah I have another quilt finished! Don't you get so excited when you finish a quilt? I am always amazed one how fast some quilts go together and then then others take you YEARS to finish! This was one that took me about 3 days total!
I really like how this
quilt turned out! I wasn't sure about the border and just added it to make my quilt a little bigger, but I am LOVING it!
I think after you stare at the quilt for awhile the 9 Patch design pops out....a LONG time staring....
When I was at the store grabbing some fabric for the back, I forgot how much I needed, and of course I didn't have enough! So I improvised the rest!
I never plan out what I do for the back patchworks, but just go with what I have, until it becomes the right length...I actually had to cut quite a bit off the "patched" area side because I made it too large and didn't have enough room to lay it out properly in my small living room.
I love how bright this quilt is! Now do you think I can call this a "boy quilt"? I only have a few blocks that have pink in it, but the rest are more "boyish" colors.
I couldn't resist, I LOVE this binding job with the sewing machine, I usually do a zig zag for the binding, because I like the reinforcement it gives, but on my Juki only has straight stitch, so I worked with it, and I just LOVE how it turned out! I think that I MIGHT ACTUALLY be getting better at this quilting/sewing thing!
I'm liking the nine patch concept and the creative use of what you have on hand for the backing. Congrats on another lovely finish!
ReplyDeleteI think the backing and border dictate gender on an ispy quilt more so than the blocks themselves. I'd definitely call this one a boy quilt. The 9 patch is only hard to pick out in a couple of spots, but you still pick them out if you know what you're looking for. I like it. I really like the back.
ReplyDeleteLovely quilt and border is very beautiful thanks for sharing.
