grey HST quilting detail & backing fabric
I enjoy making those final decisions on my quilts, choosing a quilting pattern, auditioning fabrics for the binding. The part where I tend to stall is actually putting the binding on & hand sewing it down...but not this time! Xmas day is not too far away and we have a large group coming to celebrate with us this year. I plan on gifting a few quilts and so this week I was happy to get the phone call from Annette to say she had finished my quilting! I picked up my quilts, all of which had some great machine quilting, and I got straight onto those bindings.
I finished the grey HST quilt in record time, just wish I could come up with a better name for it! The other two quilts - Summertime Chains and Hadley & Cream- both have their bindings machine sewn on, I just need to spend a bit of time hand sewing them down. I seem to work really well lately with a deadline ... do you?
Many thanx to Annette @ Wild Cotton Ltd

ReplyDeleteSomeone must have been very good this year to get so high on Santa's 'Nice' list! Love the play of movement on the HST Quilt - lucky, lucky friends.
ReplyDeletethat is very pretty. I love the low volume and it looks like the quilting has worked out well too!
ReplyDeleteYour quilting is awesome, and I love the low volume colors of your quilt!
ReplyDeleteWhat a bunch of pretty quilts! I love the interesting quilting you have chosen. I usually do the binding quite quickly because (strangely) it is one of my most favourite parts!
ReplyDeleteI just love your HST quilt!! I'm newly obsessed with HSTs and just marvel at all of the options :) I agree with Polly, the play and movement in this quilt is wonderful :)
ReplyDeleteLove the muted colors in that HST quilt!
ReplyDeleteThis is lovely. The colours work so well together. Lucky recipient!
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful and peaceful quilt. What about naming it some kind of feeling it provokes like: serenity, calm skies or something like that.
