It is such an exciting thing to sew the last couple feet of the binding on a quilt. I have to hold myself back from rushing, rushing, rushing to the end. The last stitch feels oh-so-good.
Finished.
Last night I read while snuggling under my new lovely and it was warm and comfortable, just like I knew it would be. Of course, it was fun to glance up occasionally to remind myself of the colors and patterns that I picked.
So springy. Just like I wanted it to be.
Our quilt-along consists of 6 lessons that you can access at any time. You can go as slow or as quick as you like.
week one: choosing and preparing your fabrics
week two: cutting the pieces for the quilt (all squares and rectangles)
week three: sewing your quilt top together
week four: assembling your "quilt sandwich"
week five: machine quilting
week six: binding your quilt
This quilt is good for beginners or experienced sew-ers alike. It is a great way to play with color.
Be sure to check out the Flickr group. There are some wonderful quilts making an appearance there!
Happy sewing!
