Whoo Hoo!! I have a finish. Finally the One Happy Girl quilt is quilted, thanks Nicki, and bound.
A close up of a favorite block, Dick and Jane, the pieced flannel backing, and a close up of the quilting! I think the design is Jitterbug.
I attached this narrower than usual binding (1 3/4”) to the back then stitched the fold to the front with a decorative stitch on my machine.
And the back. ⤴️
It’s a donation kids quilt so I am not concerned that it is sturdy looking. It’ll take some abuse, if need be.
It’s a binding technique I picked up by watching a Fat Quarter Shop YouTube video with Edyta Sitar.
I can’t get it to load here, but search How to make double-fold binding by Edyta Sitar -Fat Quarter Shop. I’m loving it, as it takes less fabric so I am using up scraps.
Linking up with Alycia at Quilty Girl for Finished or Not Finished Friday.
Ohhh that is a happy quilt! I luv it!
ReplyDeleteJust caught up on your posts, Judy. I never knew you could buy used from Amazon. I love my Ott lights, I have both a floor model and a tabletop. Lovely great grandchildren and my that was a fun outing. I like seeing your autumn things out and in use. This is a wonderful fun quilt and a great finish.
ReplyDeleteThat is a fun finish!!! I love to bind by machine - and use decorative stitching.. if I had to do it by hand nothing would ever get done haha!!
