I quilted and bound the frog quilt yesterday. I did the binding all by machine. It ended up about 41" x 54", perfect for a baby or small child.
On this wallhanging I trimmed the extra batting and backing then folded the outside edges to the middle and found that the borders were longer than the center. I could tell the border needed more quilting so I went back and added lines between the ones I did a couple nights ago. The border has to be as densely quilted as the center or the borders will be wavy.
I like both quilts, but there is something very endearing about the frog quilt. I didn't know it before, but I think I love frog fabrics. Especially after seeing this little sweetie.
The froggie quilt really turned out pretty. Some child will love it. My biggest quilting problem is consistency. I hadn't thought about that less quilting in the borders causing them to be wavy. See, I always learn something from you!
The links on Lynne Tyler's page to her tutorial for the Slashed Squares quilt pattern are broken so the cutting instructions are gone! I can't find the dimensions for the center square or the strips around the center square - can you help, please?

ReplyDeleteI have never seen so many darling frog prints ever. And you have made them hop right off the screen into my heart. (*._,*)
ReplyDeleteI did not know that dense quilting on the border would help the body of the quilt from being wavy. Another great tip from Wanda.
