Siblings Together Quilt Top
The great thing about awful weather is that you can't really do much useful gardening and can skive off and do sewing instead!
It was a productive, if not lucrative day. I actually managed to finish piecing my quilt top (bar sashing round the edge). It's not perfect:
(actually that's not the worst one, there's a real horror), and there's still a long way to go but this is what it looks like now:
I haven't decided yet how to quilt it - by hand, or machine. I've only
machine quilted a doll's quilt on my Brother and I don't know how it
(he?) or I will stand up to it. Either way I'd like to do shadow quilting round the outside,
and then take it from there. Meanwhile I'm linking up to WIP Wednesday at Freshly Pieced!

Beautiful! I'm a Swoon addict... Love the fabrics you've chosen and the scrappiness.
ReplyDeleteI can't take any credit for the fabrics which were donated to the cause by Patchwork Queen of http://patchworkpalace.wordpress.com/
Deletebut I'm really pleased about how they've come together:-)
It's looking good, and sewing is definitely not skiving!!
ReplyDeleteYou and your machine will be fine with the shadow quilting so definitely have a go, you will rattle through it in no time.
really beautiful and you never notice the tiny unmatched point from the distance the overall effect is brilliant! x
