For my 4 finishes in the second 10 days of January I decided to work on the smallest pieces needing finishing first. This colorwash is about 19.5" square. I got it quilted and bound yesterday. I used a brown diagonal patterned fabric for the binding.
Next I sewed the binding on this Wonky Pinwheels baby quilt and did the hand sewing while I watched TV last night. It ended up 35.5" x 44.5".
The back is a splatter print and it really doesn't show up much here so I took a close up shot of it too.
I have had this fabric for at least 15 years. It is perfect for this quilt. There was a nice width strip that I trimmed off so I cut that into 4" finished triangles with my Studio cutter.
Your energy to get so much finished just amazes me. I love that backing fabric...very cool. And of course the colorwash caught my eye. wonderful as always.
I love that splatter print you used on the back, I think I might have something like that around here on my shelves too - you are moving right along on your finishes - you just might get caught up LOL - if you don't make any more new tops for awhile that is :)
Your finishes are inspiring! I'm using January to plow through my UFO's too-- I'm amazed at how quickly it goes when I'm basting, quilting, and binding multiple quilts assembly-line style :-)
No sewing yesterday. I was down with a massive headache. Reading your post makes me feel like a slug! LOVE that spatter print fabric with the striped binding.
Love the wonky pinwheel. Lots to look at and even on the back... perfect for a baby quilt, I think. Give them something to look at when they can't do much else yet. Hugs
Well, you inspired me to try a colorwash quilt. I purchased the 25 pack material you offered last year, spent lots of time gathering lots of floral fabric,and studied your quilts and tutorials. I used the non-woven fusible grid to lay out all my 2" squares. Now I need to sandwich, quilt, and finish. Thank you Wanda!
I Really love the wonky pinwheel; I've been wanting to try out that pattern, and need to do it. You might've provided the last bit of inspiration I need. I've been working on a square within a square using similar color scheme, so I might use the left overs for the wonky pinwheel. I know I have plenty of fabric for both!
Nice finishes!!! Me I cooked all day yesterday.... soup soup soup!
