That's Right
Happy Dance
I can say with such delight I am finally finished quilting on the 30's Sampler.
These picture are from last summer and most of the basting stitches were in. I had this one basted on a large quilting machine so that is why there are all those straight line.
I quilted a quarter inch from the seams on 99% of the quilt. The only time I quilted closer was when I quilted around an appliqued piece.
So today I am going to make a binding and I'm thinking of using all 30's solids, in all the colors I have.
Attach that down while watching the Superbowl (love the commercials)
Boy after 5 years, that's how long it's been since I started quilting on this and I believe this is the first post written about quilting on this back in Dec. 2012. And at that time I said I started it the year before.
If I happen to get the binding on and have time before the game, I'll try to finish the flying pigs baby quilt top. That one is going to be a quilt to practice machine quilting on.
Till later,

Congratulations on your stunning finish!
ReplyDeleteWow, five years to quilt. I admire your determination and it is a great finish
ReplyDeleteOh what a great outcome. I am not a great lover of samplers but this layout is awesome. Ok maybe it's those old samplers that are blocks surrounded by sashing. Maybe it's just the sashing! LOL I am looking forward to doing a red and white quilt so that I can just stitch a quarter inch away from seams. Sounds so wonderful!
ReplyDeleteWow great quilt! Have fun with the binding this afternoon.
ReplyDeleteIt is truly lovely.
