Finished the quilt top for swan quilt yesterday and have it ready for basting.Some stats for the quilt -
Fabrics -
- 6 different background fabrics were used.
- Each block has 2 different fabrics in it. Black Kona was used in 2 or 3 of the blocks as the coordinate. So there are approximately 80 different fabrics used for the swans.
- 56 different fabrics were used in the border alone
- Most of the fabrics in the swans and border were out of my stash of scraps and did not make a dent in the scraps!
- A solid color binding will be used on the quilt, but I'm not sure what color at this time
- Final size is 65" by 75"
I also finished the next bear block. This is Susan who is trying to untangle her thread as she sews the binding down on her quilt.I might add a wee bow on her head, but not sure of that.
Gratitudes:
1. At this point I still have a job (was almost laid off this week)
2. Stitches in my gum come out today. =)
Moira, your swan quilt is magnificent!! The Susan Bear is adorable. Hopefully your gum surgery isn't too painful. k
ReplyDeleteThe border really adds the finishing touch the quilt needed. It makes it all come together. You have captured my binding troubles perfectly, too. LOL
ReplyDeleteI love the border on your swan quilt - perfect!!! It would look really awesome if the binding matched the border...just sayin'!!! I guess Susans have an issue with binding!!!
