recycled duvet cover used for backing
Late one afternoon this week I set myself up in the sewing room... fan on high, glass of wine waiting... and I'm pleased to report, everything went smoothly! The quilting on this takes a backseat to the busy fabrics. I simply did straight line quilting, using a neutral light grey thread, and then I used a very useful Denyse Schmidt stripe for the binding. Finish #2 , another quilt to cross off my FAL list! Linking up with TGIFF here today @ Bolt to Beauty . Pop on over to see lots of other quilty finishes!
p.s. quilts are for giving

It's a lovely quilt...is it for you? I think i would have to keep that one!
ReplyDeleteIt looks really nice! And that is a great idea to use a duvet cover for the backing. It's pretty one it's own too, which I guess makes it's reversible.
ReplyDeleteThank you! Well, yes, now that I’ve opted for early retirement, I need to be a bit resourceful – hence the duvet cutting up!! It seemed perfect for the gypsy feel of this quilt! Thanx for popping by, Linda
DeleteGypsy Caravan is my all time favorite from Amy Butler, I love that collection. Your quilt is lovely... Beautiful colors!
ReplyDeleteOh, I really like the backing. And the fact that it is upcycled is awesome, too. Congratulations on the lovely finish!
