Quilt update

Lilysmom — Wed, 26 Feb 2020 09:04:19 GMT

After putting a drive on, I went from 6 completed squares to 40 in a couple of weeks.

Today, I finished the last two, trimmed the bordered and pinned it for sewing.

Please note that this is not pressed so it still looks a bit rough but I am approaching the finish line.

Next job, press and sew the border and then all done. Glad to have this job behind me! LM

@Lilysmom Very pretty, will you keep or gift the quilt to someone?

@Lilysmom. It's very pretty. I can see it in a light, airy bedroom with a minimum of clutter. Maybe pale green walls, white painted furniture. Oops, you didn't ask for decorating advice, did you? I like it better than I thought I would. It's very dainty.

Oh wow, your quilt is beautiful. I really wish I could do that. I’m lucky to sew a button on 😊

My mom would just love that quilt. She loved butterflies and the color green.

Miss her.

Thanks for sharing @Lilysmom It's Beautiful.

@Mom2Dogs , I will gift this to a cousin who has a small quaint cottage across the lake from me. I know she will love it. As soon as I saw the pattern, I thought of her cute little place which has been in her family for decades. LM

@Kachina624 , I like it now that Indon't have to quilt it anymore😂. It is actually very pretty to look at. When I press it out, I will post the finished product. That makes quite a difference in appearance.

@Kachina624 , et al, hop on over to the garden forum and have a look at our community project post. LM

@Leggett28 , I thought the same myself when I first started to quilt. Practice makes you better! LM

The back is as beautiful as the front. Your stitches are even and you show no knots or hanging threads.

Nice work. I know you liked last years project better, but you did this one just as nice. Congratulations on a job well done.

Beautiful quilt and workmanship. Such lovely colors. The recipient will be so lucky to receive this one. I'd love to have it!

@stevieb @Carmie @mspatmac , between meetings yesterday I ironed the quilt, pressed the border and have the binding almost finished. What a difference it makes!

Will post the final photo when I finish.

I truly have Spring fever. It was 7C (44F) here today and the snow is melting like crazy! Time to wrap up the quilting for this year! LM

Beautiful!

If you give it away make sure it is someone who appreciates all that work..

My Girlfriend made one for her Son and Daughter-in-law and the put it in the corner for the dog to lay on....

My firend was so hurt and still tears up when someone mentions quilting..

This is so refreshing and pretty! I have a couple of my Great Grandmothers quilts that I treasure. It's so much work that goes into it and I cherish them. I wished I had the patience to follow in her foot steps...but I don't! I admire those who do.
