Last night I finished the quilting and the binding on my little 'Alliance Nine Patch' quilt, and I have to say I'm entirely thrilled with it!Because I'm home alone right now, it's totally fine for me to stitch into the night. So I didn't feel at all naughty when I popped the finished item into the washer for a quick rinse and spin at 1am!
I really wanted my little project to get a head start on drying overnight. I laid it out on towels on the dining room floor - I really think giving it a rinse gives all the elements of the quilt a chance to settle and the quilting really 'pops'.
This morning I plan to pin another quilt and get busy. I shall have myself a little quilting marathon and see how many I can get thru before my home gets populated again!
Your quilting is lovely and really adds to the appearance of the quilt. Thanks for sharing.

ReplyDeleteLooking good I have a mountain of my own tops waiting to be done. I hope to get through some of them before the end of the year ( it looks bad when you start the year with more unfinished quilts than the year before lol).

ReplyDeleteYou are so right... that final step in the washer really makes it a quilt, or like a young friend says, "I love the bumpies on it!"
