I found this photos of my Bow Tie blocks in my photos album from April. April? Nine months ago......let's just say before the stuff that happened.
I found the top earlier this month on a hanger, awaiting its turn under the needle. My goal for the month for this was to get it pinned and quilted. And yesterday, it got binding done too!
Bow-quet of Florals got bound yesterday. I love a finish:) I quilted it with open swirls, edge to edge.
I am not sure if I showed this label yet. I did this one a little differently. Once the word part was printed off onto treated fabric, I simply added scraps to either side. Rather than turn the edges under and hand stitch, I used muslin as a backing. I sewed around all 4 sides and then slit the muslin to turn the label right side out. Then I top stitched it onto the back.
Time to shoot a few outside photos. Please ignore my weeds.
Size is 48'' by 66'' ----perfect lap size to enjoy.
To share:I ran across a really good, really simple color combination cheat sheet. I know I hated the color wheel lessons, too. But they are soooo important! I actually printed off the long list of color combos to keep handy. You know, in case I have a no idea in mind day and need a color scheme. Check it out.
So the count down is near, as the new year arrives. I am glad to get back to the usual routine again. Happy stitching.
I remember this one, it's good to see a finish and feels right going back to "before".
ReplyDeleteI remember this one, too. A good finish for the end of the year.
ReplyDeleteI love this one - it is so you with the color wash effect! So glad you surpassed your goal and got it bound too. ~Jeanne
ReplyDeleteOh, it is really lovely! Such a simple design, but a powerful color study. Makes me want to make one. Great finish! My daughter bought me a display stand to hang my quilts and photograph them. Can't wait to get it out of the bag and use it. I can take it outside or use it inside. It folds up into a sack.
ReplyDeleteОчень красивое одеяло. Акварель как всегда безупречна.
ReplyDeleteWonderful finish. And we are all so glad to have you back. Happy New Year.
ReplyDeletePretty and classic! How nice to have a finish right at the end of the year, too. I'm hoping to get my machine set back up today so I can fit in a few stitches before this year is finally over...
ReplyDeleteHere's hoping 2017 will surprise us with good things!
That's such a soft, pretty quilt. Your label is very eye-catching & lovely. I'll check out that color combination cheat sheet. Selecting colors are my hardest part about making a quilt.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the finish! There is something so special about the final finishing of a quilt! Thanks for posting the link to the color tutorials, great site.
ReplyDeleteI made a bow tie quilt for my inlaws, shortly after I learned how to quilt. Maybe I'll make another one, one day.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Bows. Aren't finishes great?
ReplyDeleteI'm encouraged with your progress. --Thank you, Lord!
Wishing you a wonderful 2017.
