The last time I stopped by to visit my cousin, she asked me if I would finish her projects for her. She can no longer sew. So, of course, I said I would finish her projects. This is the first finish.
She had gone to a quilt class with her sister many years ago and made these blocks. She says she absolutely HATES applique. haha she had the blocks put together into a top, but it was too narrow and too long. I took a row off the bottom, cut 2 more blocks from extra fabrics she gave me, and added another row to the side. Then added a border. I used every bit of fabric she gave me. I would have liked the border to be larger, but there was no more fabric, and the backing fabric she gave me JUST fit this top.
It is 59 x 74" Binding was cut from pieces left over.
There were some large buttons on these flowers, so I could only quilt so close to them.
I had to use my cup foot to quilt it. Flannel on top and back made for some bulky seams.
Kept it simple with Xs in the blocks and went around the flowers. And a curvy thing in the border.
Bless her heart....she took classes for quilting....and classes for sewing....yet, these blocks have selvages showing in them. haha
The back is a pretty floral.
I will deliver it to her Sunday. She says she can't wait to put it on her bed.
