Over the weekend I was on a mission. I had three quilts that had been sitting for
a month waiting for the binding to be hand stitched, and a fourth quilt I
started about two weeks ago that needed binding to be made and stitched. I decided that since my machine needed to go
in for its yearly cleaning I should probably make the 4th binding,
machine the binding on, and make the 4 needed labels. While I was doing that I figured I might as
well finish appliquéing the last 8 leaves for a different quilt that is in
process. I am happy to say that all four
quilts are done and now deserve to be shown off.
Three of the quilts were on my Q3 finish-a-long list, so
they will each get their own post.
The 4th quilt I made was for a dear friend’s
mother. She spends a good portion of her
day sitting down, and she is an Alabama alumni, so I thought it was only
fitting to make her a small lap quilt.
This quilt is based on the Giggles pattern by Jaybird Quilts. I altered the pattern to make the quilt 2
colors and then added the appliqued “A”.
The quilt in total took just about 5 yards of fabric. I bought 2 yards of the silver and 4 of the crimson
and had some left over from each piece, but not much. The back is the crimson fabric from the
front. The quilt was quilted on a long-arm
by me, at my local shop Quilting-By-You, where I can rent time on one of their
machines. There is a label on the back
but I am not going to show it because the recipient has not received it yet.
