I have had these Egyptian fabrics for some time....marinating on the shelf. i got them from the Paducah quilt show several years ago. finally needed to do something with them. so i added some other pieces that i thought went together with it and got out the AccuQuilt machine and cut out pieces for a Take 5 pattern.
Here is the result.
It's mainly browns and tans.
For quilting i just did lines with the channel lock on the millie....turned the quilt and did lines going the other way. no measuring...just eyeballed it...some wider than others.
Just quilting lines is an easy way to get a utility quilt finished in a short period of time. this is bed size...96x102....it will probably wind up on eBay.
I also pieced the backing...using up the rest of the Egyptian fabrics and some others thrown in.
It used up about 12 yards betwen the front and back...good stashbusting
The binding was also scraps pieced together after trimming the top. now i just have to tell myself not to buy any more novelty fabrics.
I need to load a customer quilt and get moving but i just have no desire to quilt today. must still be lazy from spending yesterday in my pjs all day. i worked a 1000 piece jigsaw puzzle in about 7 hours. LOL taking breaks to eat and check computer. it was a fun day yesterday.
I think i'll go back to the house and work on some hand stitching. is it too late to take a nap?
