Charley in the Forest came home yesterday, quilted and ready to be trimmed and bound. The trees are upside down in this photo.
I got this Charley Harper fabric, enough or a backing, on sale at a good price and I just love it. You will see the whole quilt in a week or so, depending on when I'm ready to do some hand stitching.
In last night's sewing session I got this top sewn together but it isn't pressed yet so I'll do that today and post its photo tomorrow.
Most corners matched pretty well and a few were a tiny bit off but not enough to take out and re-do.
I have some odds and ends to stitch tomorrow night, not a project but just pieces and parts.
Next I need to get the needle changed in my longarm and then quilt a few small to medium size quilt tops.
Oh, I too, love the backing fabric for your Charlie quilt and to get it for a good price…BONUS!
ReplyDeleteWow--good job getting that all sewn together!! Talk about matching corners--a whole lot in this one;)))
ReplyDeleteCharlie will be such a lovely piece all finished up now that it is quilted....
46 here and partly sunny this morning. Our grass is turning green now; and, we bought a new electric lawn mower for our daughter as part of her new house purchase gifts--bringing it up to her this Saturday...helping to get her set up as as new solo home owner...
Hugs, Julierose
I love the Charlie Harper fabric and that back is so great too
ReplyDeleteI credit my love of Charley Harper's art to you, Wanda! Your quilt is fabulous.
ReplyDeleteI so agree Charley Harpers wood peckers is a delight ! ! ! Perfect backing Wanda with your forest of trees. I don’t need to tell you that ~ but every quilt you create makes me smile. And marvel at your continual designing day after day.
ReplyDeleteAnd then theres your 9 Patch magic top completed 👌.

Super backing for that lovely quilt! The whole package will be great when all bound.
ReplyDeleteWhat a perfect fabric for the back of 'Charlie in the Forest' and all the better that you got it on sale!
ReplyDeleteRainbow 9 Patch is coming along quickly (as you do!) and I look forward to seeing it after you press it.
You are a wonder!

ReplyDeleteJust love anything Charley Harper and you did a great job using this fabric. So glad you got it back and quilted!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE that Charley Harper fabric. I've never seen it in person - but it is so charming. Thanks for introducing me to it!
ReplyDeleteThat Harper backing fabric is fabulous! Once or twice a year I see those woodpeckers in my backyard and they are a site to behold! They are BIG! You have made great progress on getting the 9 patch top sewn together.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing the full quilt of Charley in the Forest. Just reading through your posts Wanda - way behind due to a reaction from a nasty vaccination! The latest batik is beautiful!
