Just last night I put the last stitches in the binding of the cot quilt. This was really fun to put together - a treat after working with such small pieces for such a long time.
Such large strips meant I could go to town with the quilting. So of course I got busy with my favourite thing - feathers ... with a few swirly tendrils thrown in for good measure.
I have missed working on my NI quilt though - so I'm looking forward to getting some more hand quilting done soon. Perhaps tonight while I'm checking in on the next installment of Downton Abbey - how I love that show! Chatter soon :-)

Yay for baby sized quilts, don't you just love the quick finish?!
ReplyDeleteAnd double yay for it being Sunday and the next installment of DA - can't wait! I hope that nasty housekeeper woman gets her comeuppance soon - it has to come doesn't it????
I loev the way you did those tendrils in the feathering! There's definitely something to be said for a simply-pieced quilt every now and then, especially when it can be added to with fun quilting!
ReplyDeleteThat is a lovely quilt - LOVE the feathers and swirlies!
ReplyDeleteLovely quilt! I made my first "wrapping paper quilt" or striped quilt if you will, just a couple of months ago and it was great fun. It was a baby quilt too, and, as usual, I forgot to take photos. Your quilting is beautiful -- I am going to have to break out of my straight line quilting box and try something more festive. Looking forward to more photos.
ReplyDeleteI love the swirls you've added in the feathers! :)
ReplyDeletevery beautiful!
