Two Border Amish Crib Quilt

There is something very satisfying about connecting the quilted sections. Again the green fabric did not photograph its true color.

The right side -

The middle section -

And the left side.

I removed the quilt from the frame, trimmed the edges then stitched the binding. Here he is on the floor, the color is better than the above photos. 

A close up of the center. This isn't the right color either, this looks more apple green, like granny Smith apples.

This is the back side. I needed to make the backing wider so I added the red strip. 

A closer view, this is the actual color, except it looks a little blotchy which it isn't.

I placed the quilt on the little quilt ladder in the dining room, I folded it so you can see the feathered wreath quilting. It looks kind of blah.

So I refolded it so the red borders show, this added contrast and he looks happier now. 

He doesn't quit fit in with the other quilts but that's okay. This little quilt measures 43" X 55".

I'm tempted to put another small project in the frame to quilt this summer but I have a lot of applique to stitch. 

As fast as the first five months of 2025 have passed by, soon it will be autumn and time to put the relief sale flimsy into the frame for quilting. Then you'll be getting weekly hand quilting updates for a long long time!
