Charm packs sometimes stifle me. I want to make something much more difficult out of them. This time I just used the 5-inch squares "as is". The back of this quilt is a kitchen sink backing -- everything but the kitchen sink is there.
Quilting is a free motion loop-d-loop. It is a good thing that I used a lightweight batting (Quilters Dream Request) as the quilting was fairly dense. This amount of quilting on a thicker bat would have resulted in a stiffer quilt.
Bound and labeled. Check and check.
Presentation case made. Check.
Washed. Check.
Just a nice as the other. Are you donating these quilts, the name suggest you are.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about those charm packs. They now have "basics" packs where you get a pile of "black" squares - so you could mix the two & make HSTs... I also like to cut 2.5 inch squares & make "hatchet" blocks...
ReplyDeleteA quilt of valor is always a wonderful thing. Looks great!!!!
ReplyDeleteWow, you have been busy with two wonderful quilts.
ReplyDeleteYou have inspired me to get my sewing machine out. So far I haven't quilted, but am making knitting tote bags, I'm having fun. I forgot how fun it was to sew, now I'm looking at some fat squares of lovely fabric I bought and dreaming
