And just like that, I have a finished (much more satisfactory) quilt. Last month, I made a quilt that was intended for a special baby due in August. Sadly, I was highly disappointed in the process, so I found the end quilt not up to my expectations.
This time around, I opted to hand quilt one of Vicki Welsh’s crystals. It’s backed with some fun train fabric and bound with another Vicki Welsh fabric, I think actually a cut of waste fabric. I love that the binding coordinates perfectly without any planning. The finished quilt is roughly 40” square.
My quilting mostly followed the pattern of the fabric with a little filling in of my own design. I marked with a washable Crayola marker which came out perfectly in the wash. I’m surprised how quickly the quilting went, and now I have an itching to start another (I do have a pink and purple crystal Miss G uses as a cape). I think I will work on my hexagons instead of starting a new quilt; I don’t want that UFO list to grow too much!
