I needed a break from my other project so I sewed the binding on this Shoo Fly quilt. (directions for the block on Lynn's blog, Solids on prints on her label list.)
I'm considering this a child's quilt because I used several novelty prints in the blocks.
It is 36.5" x 56" so it could be a big sister or brother quilt when gifting a baby quilt.
I used Hobbs 80/20 batting.
I have had the backing fabric for quite awhile and I'm sure it was on sale for a good price.
There are several novelty prints in this group of blocks. (Click on the photos to enlarge them)
The white with black fabric has several animals in it.
I like the little stripe I chose for the binding.
More of the novelty prints in the blocks.
Finally yesterday morning we got over a half inch of rain and then the sun came out later in the afternoon. I think the tomato plants grew about 3" because they were so happy. I think I see 2 volunteer tomato plants coming up in the raised bed too.
What cute novelty prints in Shoo fly quilt--really came out beautifully...
ReplyDeletegreat work on this one!! :)))
And, your Interweave is really coming together so well...
61 here and we are in a dense fog bank this morning...it quiets everything down--can't even here our normal traffic sounds....
Hugs, Julieroe
It may be a boring step, but Interweave is coming together nicely. I love to incorporate novelty prints in my scrappy quilts.
ReplyDeletethe childs quilt turned out really great! love the other quilt too
ReplyDeleteThe half-framed shoofly design is so great, and ideal for novelties. I need to buy and plant tomatoes this week. Glad I mowed on Saturday before yesterday's rain.
ReplyDelete‘Shoo Fly’ is such a fun quilt to gift to a big brother or sister.
ReplyDeleteAnd your interweave might be boring to you at this point, but it sure makes this quilt a winner.
