My Tulip quilt is finished! I sewed the binding on at the retreat.
The light green in the picture is too light.
I also sewed a sleeve on the back. I couldn't wait to hang it up so the first thing I did when I got home was to hang it, except my sleeve wasn't big enough. I had measured but not correctly. I'll unsew the stitching this evening.
I had a great time and will post later this week about the retreat.
These are a repeat of blocks you've already seen. Left side border.
There are 7 white rows in this quilt. Rows 3, 4 and 5 are exactly the same. These two blocks won't be in the next two rows.
Just a reminder, I don't do slow stitching only on Sundays, every day can be a slow stitching day. Every little stitch is an accomplishment towards being finished.

ReplyDeleteJust gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteLove your tulip quilt! I'm following you now - and look forward to seeing how you quilt it! And the quilting on your churn dash quilt looks exquisite!
ReplyDeleteYou are sooooo inspiring! Such lovely work! I am hopeful to see it up close and in person at next April's retreat. As much as I tried to work out Nov....the weather is just too unpredictable. When you hand quilt, do you sit on a straight chair? Is your lighting to the side or behind your back? How long can you do it in one sitting generally? I just can't seem to get much done on mine. Sighhhhhhhh....Carrolyn V
ReplyDeleteI sit upright in a straight chair. The light is in the front of the quilt so it shines on my work but it is off to the left so there isn't a shadow (I'm right handed). I quilted for about 3 hours this afternoon but that was too long. My right hip is kind of aching now. I need to get up every hour and walk around but I didn't do that.
DeleteThree hours in one sitting is a lot. I have the ott light and just bought a padded folding chair......hopefully with your suggestions, I will soon have a better quilting location and setting!
DeleteIt's wonderful to complete a quilt andd have it hanging. I admire the different quilt designs on the white blocks. Lovely. Looking forward to hearing about the retreat.
