I didn't think I was going to get the borders cut and sewn on this Bear Paw quilt before the end of the month.....but I did. It is 69" x 84" now. No longer a pile of blocks waiting to be sewn into a top.
Then last night I looked through my list for a small quilt that I could possibly finish by midnight tonight. This one already had its backing and binding chosen and I had a cutaway piece of batting large enough for it. This one was just 36" x 45" before quilting. Finished size will be in tomorrow's post.
I didn't have any thread fraying or breaks.
The medium tan thread worked well on it. Details tomorrow.
love the zigzag quilt and the bear paw border fabric was perfect for it
ReplyDeleteOh good deal--you are really finishing things up so well:))) I really love how the Bear Paws look...
ReplyDeleteI did early morning food shopping this morning--42 degrees and pretty windy in that parking lot!! Sunny though--and our trees are almost fully turned now--so a scenic drive...
hugs, Julierose
Love the subtle sashing on the bear paw top. It's so nice when the quilting goes well with no woes!

Stellar accomplishments and don't you just love that border fabric on the Bear Paw quilt?! Don't fret if the zig-zag quilt becomes your first finish for November.
ReplyDeleteWe're about to have 4 chilly days and cold nights before things warm up a bit again.
Hugs!

ReplyDeleteThat swirly brown border really finishes it off nicely.
