The only thing new about the quilt below is that it is DONE! Since it is only about 18" square I just ditch quilted with the teal/green thread around everything.
Detail of binding. I chose a binding fabric with the same colors that was halfway between the dotted teal and the black/teal in value. That way it became part of the design rather than a plain black that simply said binding.
The one below is nothing special. It was made to show how to use 2 little paper pieced orphan blocks and it never got quilted. It has been on the shelf for at least 10 years so I finally decided to quilt it and use it as the placemat it is supposed to be.
Place mat~ LOVE IT, love it, love it ! Simple, yes but with precision quilting and those large hearts in verticle band is perfect.
ReplyDeleteI agree~ great choice of fabric for the binding with your 'David Walker' piece. 'The frosting on the cake'.
I tryed this technique yesterday afternoon. Yikes...Fabric choices are so important. Mine ended up in the basket. And NOT to be finished basket either. (*._,*)

Great choice on the binding. I like bindings that are part of the quilt.
ReplyDeleteThe binding is perfect.
ReplyDeleteLove the placemat!
Doesn't it feel good to FINISH things that have been "nagging" silently?!?!?
