Yes, finally! Big time Happy Dance going on here!! I am thrilled and happy to report that the 30s quilt is ready for binding!! I will always refer to this quilt as “The Great Teacher.” This quilt taught me so much through trial and error. It shouldn’t have been a difficult quilt to quilt, but I was being the stubborn student and wanting to take the l-o-n-g way. LOL!! There were times when I thought, “There is no way I’m showing this quilt to to anyone again.” BUT I couldn’t be happier with how it looks and am more than happy to show it off.
I pretty much could have been blindfolded when I quilted the borders because I couldn’t see the thread at all on that fabric while I was quilting. No joke.
I tried a new all over design in the center. Kind of a feathery swirl. Everything is freehand. I did mark for spacing on the sashing.
And finally the whole quilt. Well sort of…my photo skills are pathetic. 🙂
Scott loved how the borders came out. He was very impressed and loves this quilt now too!
That is just awesome. I am really impressed by the fact that the middle was done without any marking or a panto or anything. I'd love to be able to do that sort of thing.
Beautiful! Wonderful! Spectacular! I LOVE it!!!!!!
It is so sweet…love it! And your quilting is fabulous….you must be thrilled. What is the quilt pattern?
Another beautiful quilt! You definitely have a natural talent for this! :0)
It is beautiful~ The swirls on the edge are my favorite~
It is really awesome. Well done. I love your name for it! Keep up the great work!
What a little beauty!
Looks great! I bet it feels good to have it completed.
Well, I sure do love 30s prints and this is beautiful! But I wouldn't expect anything less.
Your freehand is killing me. I have a hard time when I mark my quilts! So pretty:)
Great job and awesome quilt!!
For now being able to see, you did a beautiful job.
Love the design you used, perfect for that quilt.
