Quilt peak # 2

Lilysmom — Sun, 07 Apr 2019 18:21:42 GMT

I have a feeling that winter is hanging around to give me time to finish my quilt. So I am quilting despite the wish to be gardening. Still cold here, near freezing every day and below at night. We expect 15 cm of snow Monday into Tuesday.

So, I put a drive on to finish my quilt.

Although it is not ironed, here is an idea of what it will look like. Borders uneven. I have to quilt the turquoise borders throughout the quilt, even up the real borders and sew them. Should be done by end of next week.

It is a throw for my sister in law to take to the cottage. Pinch out for details. LM

Oh my gosh @Lilysmom , that is absolutely beautiful. You are very talented. I still have the quilt (not in great shape) that my grandmother made me years and years ago. Your SIL is going to love it.

@Lilysmom

LOVE this!

I live on an island near the beach and my home is all coastal/beach theme, plus I have tropical fish tanks and baskets of shells I've collected sitting around.

This would be PEFECT for my home! (hint-hint, LOL!)

Thank you for the kind words. The quilt is a surprise for my SIL. I do one each year. It is a hobby that I really enjoy. I learn something new each time I do one. I park myself in the den with the wood stove and quilt away. It helps pass our six months of cold weather.

I hate putting the quilt together (the first task) and I had doing the borders (the last task), the rest I enjoy. I will post when it is done so you can see the finished product.

Here’s hoping winter’s last storm is tomorrow! LM

@Lilysmom - my least favorite part of the whole process is cutting all the fabrics!

My favorite part is hand sewing the binding down. Not because it means it's finished, I just love doing it.
