As promised, here are pics of my quilt in process. Above you see it trimmed up. Later that night, my hubby helped me to lay it out on the floor so I could square it up.
I feel like a freaking new parent here, with all the pics, but hey, it's my first quilt. *grins*Above is a pic of the binding sewn onto the front. Below is a photo of my very first quilt with the binding pinned for finishing. I did some research and have come to the conclusion that while blind stitching (by hand) gives it a bit more of a finished look and charm, I'd rather machine stitch it.
I'm going to "stitch in the ditch" on the front, catching the back in the stitching. I don't plan to enter it into any contests, and frankly, it's too hot to sit and hand-sew with a quilt on my lap. Just sayin'.
I hope you like the pics folks, and have a great night!
Looks wonderful! :-) I love that gray and white bird fabric!
ReplyDeleteI really need to get to finishing mine...
It is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHi Megan, just love your quilt! It's beautiful and I love that fabric with the birds on the outside borders, any idea who it is by?
ReplyDeleteThe bird fabric is "Livingston Seagull" by Alexander Henry. I bought it locally, but I've seen it around the net. The grey is more popular, and thus harder to find now. Good luck!
