This time, I worked on my hand quilting skills. Again. Because it is soooo much fun!
I used several colours of DMC perle cotton in size 8, and an Aurifil in size 12 to hand quilt around all the 9 patches. I machine quilted first, using Aurifil 50 wt. in the ditch, just to give it some strength, and then sat all comfy-like in my chair, or outside, or where ever I wanted to be, and stitched happily.
The fabrics are all American Jane, from a charm pack of ABC 123, and some yardage of the tossed toys on the back, and the lovely print of flowers on a blue background for the binding.
The batting is Warm & Natural and the dimensions are a little 27" x 32".
Great job! Love the detail of the hand quilting and the binding is LOVELY!!

I love hand quilting, but it takes me so long to finish a quilt! This is a great idea to speed up the process! Your hand quilting stitches look great!
ReplyDeleteSoo beautiful!! It's very reminiscent of the "vintage" colours that I remember "back in the day"... ;) Love it to bits!
ReplyDeleteI just love this!!! I don't have any babies to quilt for, but I'm sure my kitties would love to enjoy it! I am inspired! Thanks
