#2 finish for February 2020................

Completed, the zipper quilt.  Ditch quilted on my straight stitch machine, hand finished binding.  It is 59" x 71".









The large leaf print is a full width strip and the other smaller leaf fabric is the rest of the width of the backing.  It was a long piece leftover from the backing on another quilt.


Friday I sewed the borders on the wonky heart quilt and then loaded it on the longarm.  Yesterday afternoon I quilted it





I quilted in many size loops with a variegated Rainbows Superior brand thread on top, bottom line by Superior in the bobbin.





I changed my mind on the backing fabric.  I had originally pulled a yellow background with large numbers all over it but then I saw this piece of flannel and decided to use it instead.  The binding is the same fabric as the border.  I will show the finished quilt tomorrow.

Oh my goodness - you are going to have two more finishes for the month! Way to go! The zipper quilt turned out so pretty! I like the red fabric for the back of the heart quilt. It goes good with the front reds.

I love the zippers quilt! The blocks really do look like zippers at first glance. And they made me grin the minute I looked at the picture.

Your zipper quilt seems to vibrate with colour, it's a beauty.
