Woohoo... a big finish for me this week....
This top was made in 2019 and over the last few months I have been trying to spend a bit of time quilting it on my Sweet Sixteen....
Quilting was finished last week and over 4 evenings I got the binding hand sewn down....
It's too long to hang on the wall properly..... finished at 95 x 83"
It was a kit from a destash site I had in my cupboard for a few years.... someone may know the name and date for this French General range.... I love the colours.
and different elements to the quilt, hand stitching, applique, mini piecing...
fussy cut framing of gorgeous fabric.....
and lots of opportunity for fun quilting....
As you can see it is a good fit for our Queen size bed
I had a lot of fun with the quilting... as usual that is seen better on the back!!
Sewing day with the girls and a couple of evenings has resulted in a couple more hand stitched blocks for Field Journal....
 |
I do love the variegated thread colours that comes with the series...
... and some progress has been made on the backpack..... hoping to get this together over the weekend....
Righto, Gotto Go... I need a coffee after all that showing off.....
Doesn't one get to start a new project when one is finished????
Have a lovely weekend everyone.... xx
Your quilt is stunning. Love the colours. Fj blocks are lovely & look forward to seeing the finished backpack

A beautiful finish. Love your FJ blocks as always. Variegated thread is a fav of mine too.
ReplyDeleteWhat a stunning quilt. Your quilting really adds to it. I think the fabric range may be Pom Pom de Paris. As always, I love your little CGT stitcheries.
