Zinnia Garden is finished. It is 55" x 73" right now. I want to wash it to soften it so it will probably end up a couple inches smaller. I want to wash the smaller quilt, English Flower Garden, at the same time.
I used two different threads for the edge finish on these two mini quilts. The one on the right is the same color thread that I used for quilting on both of them. The one on the left is a little darker and I think I like it best.
They all look great. If you hadn't said you used different thread I maybe wouldn't have noticed. My last Christmas is over now so maybe I can get something done. Hope you have as good a year as this last one quilting. Chris
I bought some fusible fleece on sale at Joann's yesterday to have on hand to try one of these. Yours are beautiful! I am curious as well about how you wash and dry yours. I lay them on the lawn in between 2 sheet until dry-but you have snow.
