How's that for a snazzy title??
This is my family room and the new home for my latest quilt. I think it fits right in :) Maybe I'm a bit "biased"....hahaha (I love sewing humor!)
This quilt has been on my machine for about a week and I've put probably 8 hours into the quilting over that time.
The binding is a french fold, machine stitched to the front and hand stitched to the back. All the dense quilting makes this a really eye catching quilt, plus ultra long lasting (good for all the use it will get in front of the T.V. from my kids!) :) It turned out better than I expected :) And that's always nice!
Each block of the quilt is quilted in a different pattern. This made it really fun because I got to try out a bunch of different designs and patterns in small manageable areas. Some I like, some I don't,
but most of them I absolutely L.O.V.E.!

{this picture is taken before the quilt has been washed for the first time - after washing, the cotton shrinks a bit around the quilting, creates puckers, and the fabrics soften up quite a bit - makes a super snuggly quilt!} |

Oh how I love texture.....{sigh}

Have I mentioned how much I LOVE quilting? :)
