In June I posted about a fat quarter challenge our guild had issued. You can read about the challenge here.
After finishing the Wilfred & Cloves flimsy, I got busy and attached the binding by machine then spent time slow stitching the binding to the back side of the quilt. I used fabrics left from the fat quarters for the binding.

This is such a pretty wall hanging filled with pretty colour and pattern. Love the addition of the pretty flowers in the corners and the middle. Such a lovely finish.
ReplyDeleteI think your fussy cutting really added so much to this piece. I love the variety of fabric too! Well done!
ReplyDeleteYour wall hanging turned out great for a mystery! Very fun fussy cutting. I also loved the Wilfred & Cloves finish. Beautiful colors.
ReplyDeleteI agree that the fussy cutting just made this quilt. Congrats on a great finish.
ReplyDeleteThis is so cool. I really like the finish and that it was done as a mystery. I've given up on mysteries because I never like the finished design. This one is perfect. I wouldn't be able to give it away.

ReplyDeleteHi Gretchen! What a lovely wall hanging for a lovely cause. I'm sure the recipient will appreciate it very much, and it will brighten their home for years to come. ~smile~ Roseanne
ReplyDeleteYou both did a great job on your wall hanging. Thanks for the info on the project. I enjoy making smaller quilts and it would be great to have an outlet other than my closet for a few. Great job!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely little quilt and gift! It will bring such joy into a home! Ive added that charity to my list of places I send things. And I love your Carolyn Konig quilt. I hadn't seen it before. Your productivity astounds me. I seem to sew all the time but don't accomplish anywhere as many projects as you do.....and Im not OCD about my stitching either.....I am fussy and want it to look good, but as Brenda P says, Done is better than Perfect! You are my hero. Carrolyn V
