Or, at least ready to curl up on the (newly slipcovered!) sofa and hide when I get overwhelmed with everything I want to do before the holidays. I finally finished this quilt that I started in January. The quilt top was done in January, then I waited until summer to baste it and quilt it. The binding finally went on last weekend. I consider finishing it before December a major success.
These photos aren’t great, it was a little too sunny. And I forgot to take a picture of the back, which is a coordinating flannel print, which will make it extra snuggly. And since I made my quilt square instead of the larger rectangle called for in the original tutorial, I have a lot of patchwork strips leftover that I’m going to use to make either placemats or maybe even a small quilt for someone else.
Looks positively gorgeous! You can definitely tell a lot of love went into the making! Thanks for sharing with us!
Holly, that quilt is so beautiful! I wish I could get my top-stitching lines half as straight.
I love the quilt.
Wow, that quilt is beautiful. I’m so glad you commented on my blog so I could find yours! So much great stuff here. I am in awe of your slipcover project too. I think red pillows would be awesome. Or which Marimekko fabric did you get?
