Don't blog for 4 days....then you can't shut me up. hahahahahah
I came to the studio this morning with no plan....a "me" day. woohoo!! So, in 3 hours i quilted this. i was playing with a bunch of primary color scraps one day and cut out a bunch of rectangles and this is what happened.
It hasn't been sitting here very long but it was small enough to do quickly. about 36x58"
I did a freehand design on it. loaded it the long way and it went quickly.
I used a King Tut thread for the top...called Joseph's Coat. it has a whole rainbow of colors...pink, red, blue, green, yellow, purple. and for the bottom used a pale green by So Fine. my machine likes that combination of threads.
There were lots of extra benefits with this quilt. i got to claim 2.5 yards in the StashBusting for the backing and binding. although the binding won't go on till later.
This will be the binding.
I got 4 yards of selvages from the backing.
A couple of pieces for the strip box
A bit for the scraps box
And some batting scraps for my friend, Sharon
Nothing goes to waste....recycling at its finest. LOL
What can you do in 3 hours in your studio?
Later
