Here's the top, with lots of excess batting poking out around the edges:
I'm going for the same straight line quilting that I did last time, as you can see here...
And speaking of last time, I think I probably never posted pictures of the last quilt since I was afraid Karen & Luke would see it before I had a chance to give it to them.
Hopefully the one I'm working on now will turn out as well. I'm planning on binding it in yellow, which I think will be super cute! I would love to try some free motion quilting but I just don't quite have enough faith in my crappy Shark sewing machine. For now, though, the straight lines are working for me.
I also did one quilt between these two that I forgot to take any pictures of before giving it away! That one was from Elizabeth Hartman's Nine Patch Lattice Quilt pattern. Can you tell I like her stuff? She writes a fantastic blog called Oh, Fransson and just came out with this delicious looking quilting book (it's on my xmas list!):
Can you share what fabrics are used in the pictures of your first quilt here? I love the choices and love the straight line quilting!
ReplyDeleteSure! It's all from the "A Is For Alligator" line by Hoffman Fabrics. The background is a gray kona solid -- smoke, maybe? -- and I bound it in a bright yellow kona solid... but I can't remember the name.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, thanks so much. I owe this quilt, as well as the straight line quilting idea, entirely to Elizabeth Hartman!
