Here are the fabrics I'm going to use:
(Day 107 of 365)
Yes, that floral fabric with the brown background is the same fabric that I used to make my apron. I liked it so much, and it went with the colors we have in our bedroom (mostly navy with some burgundy accents), colors I love, so I bought more of it and chose other fabrics to coordinate with it.
I know the quilt will take me a while to finish, but I can't wait to get started!
I love sewing quilt blocks. I just wish I knew how to do the actual quilting. I have 2 quilts put together but not quilted. :( My MIL does all her quilting by hand. I think i'm a machine kinda gal. But I just don't know how yet!
ReplyDeleteDinah, I sew my quilt blocks with my machine, but I hand quilt the layers together. I've tried machine quilting, but since I don't have a walking foot for my sewing machine, the fabric gets bunched up on the bottom layer and doesn't look right when I try to quilt it. I don't do anyting fancy with my hand quilting though, usually just stitch-in-the-ditch, but it works!
ReplyDeleteYou're quilting? I didn't know you quilted. Can't wait to see if finished, but I will be patient. These things take time.
ReplyDeleteYes, truth, I've made a number of quilts. 3 of the kids have quilts on their beds that I made, and I've made a few crib quilts for friends, too.
ReplyDeleteWow, I've never quilted. Those colors/patterns are beautiful! Can't wait to see the finished product.
ReplyDeleteHi, Melanie. You've made me feel like breaking out all the quilting pieces I cut 5 years ago and did nothing with. You've inspired me.
