My local quilt guild had a workshop for this yesterday. We had a "race" to see who finished first and I did. And mine is more like a 1900 quilt because I used 48 strips for mine. It is 63"x60". I used 2 of the same jelly rolls I got from Connecting Threads 2 or 3 yrs. ago. This is all print fabrics.This message has been edited. Last edited by: indycatCarol,
This morning I decided to make another one using all solid strips (also from Connecting Threads) and this one is more like a "2000" quilt because of the addition of the white on white squares between each strip. This one measures 60"x67".This message has been edited. Last edited by: indycatCarol,
Love both your quilts! Been thinking about making one w/a solid sq between the strips & you've convinced me that needs to be my next project. I really like the pop it gives your solid strips. Thanks for the inspiration!
I have no idea right now how I'm going to quilt the print quilt but this is how I quilted the solid quilt today. I added a 2 1/2" white on white border around it all and have the print backing cut to also use as the binding. Here is the way I've quilted this with Whoopsie Daisy. I used varigated pink, blue and green thread. I'll post another pic. when I get the binding on.
Sorry I didn't get this posted earlier. Went to see an aunt and cousin I haven't seen for close to 35 yrs. and then had a dental appt. and then went to a "red hat" meeting with my sister. I put a 2 1/2" white on white strip around it and then for the binding used a small floral print fabric. Finished size is 69 1/2" x 64". I think I'll call it Northern Lights as it kind of reminds me of that. Thank you all for your comments.
