I LOVE this colorway and didn't buy it - and a quilt bud came through for me - Life is good!
Now I can look at it everyday...
(Thanks)
No Piecing - it is hand quilted and finished with a knife edge.
For the back I used a mini preprinted whole cloth from The Stencil Company HERE.
I could have just cross hatched but I wanted to practice curves and I like the texture this one has.
It is hand quilted in a cream thread.
As I was snipping a thread on the front porch at dusk, getting the most of the dwindling light....
I cut the backing fabric! Not just a little V cut...the whole piece came off.
I meant to go back and mend it before I washed the quilt - I forgot - but look how nice it closed up. I thought it would be larger and a bit frayed...

| Tossed Red and Green 7" x 8.25" |
I was doing a little tidy up in the sewing room and decided to make a few more AAQI donation quilts.
I was able to hand quilt them while we watched a movie. Great fun - and quite liberating.
Once I submitted one and had been through all of the steps they were a snap to get registered. I sent three off in this batch.
I will be doing more of these!

| Gray Matter 6.5" x 7.5" |
This one is the friend to my Goldie Gray Medallion.
It looks crooked - but it was my camera angle...
I like the touches of blue in this one.
 |
| Seeing Red 9" x 10" |
I included some of my favorite fabrics in this one.
I love red and brown.
This one is also machine pieced and hand quilted.
Like I said, it is hard to stop on these...
Thanks to those of you who inspired me to get involved with this effort!!
Have a wonderful weekend!

Nice little quilts. So many worthy causes--I wish I could be involved in all of them!
ReplyDeleteI just love those little pre-printed mini's. I have a collection that I use as dresser scarves *s*
ReplyDeleteThe green pheasant is glorious! what a great friend. Love the little wholecloth and especially like the knife-edge finish. A little quilt is a great way to test it out.
ReplyDeleteThis is fabulous. I never considered making a whole cloth small quilt! The quilting is perfect.
ReplyDeletewell I just love your whole cloth quilt and now yes I am going to have to give it a try.

ReplyDeletei've never tried doing a knife edge but i sure like that little quilt and will have to consider it as a finish option on one of my upcoming small quilts.
