Lap Quilt in New Technique Is Ready for Quilting

6/16/2016

0 Comments

 
Here's a bright and colorful lap quilt done in a new technique (for me) ... string piecing.  You reach into your pile of fabric strips and sew the next strip down.  If you're very brave, you don't even look to see if it's the right color.  This quilt will have a bit of a pattern going on because I used the same black with yellow circles for the center of each block.  Vibrant batiks in greens, pinks, oranges and blues combine to create a really dramatic design and beautiful quilt.  It will be approximately 38" x 54".  It's in the pile waiting for quilting....

Cute Quilt with Bugs on the Way....

One of my favorite things is when a quilt has finally been all quilted and I get to trim off the excess batting and backing.  What's left looks like quilt!  It's amazing but to me it makes a big difference in how I perceive the quilt.  And then it's ready for the binding.  Here's a cute quilt (below ... without the binding yet) with quirky little bugs and things, all in black & white.  The quilting was done free motion on a longarm machine in a quirky and wiggly line of circles.  Kind of like that worm you see there....
