2025~~SAHRR FINISHED PARADE

 

Today is the day for the SAHRR Parade. I’m linking up at Quilting Gail.

This is how my project (just the top) finished. 

I used some red fabric for the backing. 

It’s called Autumn’s Charm, but it looks Christmas-y to me. 

As I was making the back I noticed that the white portions of the salvage were pinkish. I did remember prewashing that piece. But decided to stay stitch around the edges and wash it again when I washed my dresser topper. 

I did that yesterday. I used 2 Color Catchers but did not put it in the dryer. 

The color catchers after washing. Glad I decided to do that.

This is the dresser topper just out of the washer! No pink! All good!. 

 Last night I cut a piece of Hobbs batting, 48 X 48 and this morning when I get back from the Rec Center, I’ll press the backing and get it ready to deliver to my quilter. Her husband had knee replacement surgery, so she took a short break from her long arm. 

This is my 3rd time participating in SAHRR and I am most pleased with the outcome. My success stems, I think, from having enough of consistent background fabric and some good coordination of the other fabric. Scrappy is not easy to do on these projects. 

Can’t wait til next time. Thank you to Gail and to Kathleen, Anja, Wendy, Brenda, and Emily for this year’s SAHRR. 

Stay Busy and Stay Happy and Healthy and Hopeful!
