This quilt top turned out super! All the seams went together like they are supposed to formed. I guess I haven't lost my touch for precision patchwork. I used some thrifted linens: the quilt border was a set of Ralph Lauren pillowcases. I was pleasantly surprised how much yardage I sourced from them. The backing is a lovely flat sheet. The binding is pink chintz from my 1980s stash. Yea, I have fabric that old. :-) I'm confident this will be quilted & in use by the end of the month. Yea!
Will you look at that blue sky? So wonderful!
Have a Creative Day Y'All!
Wow, it does look great! I'm amazed how much fabric came from pillow cases, too! King sized, I'm thinking. But still, a lot of fabric.
ReplyDeleteNo, regular sized pillowcases. I'm going to cut up a few more for the next coins quilt as borders. Really trying to downsize & I am more inclined to take 3 pieces over 1 big piece. In my mind I am using more (although I'm not). I think I have 3 less pieces than 1 piece.
DeleteReally turned out nice... great work!
ReplyDeleteAwesomeness!
