I don't know how long it has been since I finished a quilt.....but, it has been a long time. And this one is not even mine. haha

This top was hand pieced by a friend's mom's sister. it was a bit wonky and has every kind of material known to man in it. haha  It's about 80x86". 

The hand piecing was done with thick thread. That blue fabric that looks like denim was kind of thick and did not stretch at all. That light blue with the white next to it stretched a lot. 

Not all places matched up well and it was not pressed. the black with the white dots had runs in the fabric. A lot of the pieces had creases sewn in.

There was no way to SID so i stitched over the top layer of each seam as they usually lapped over. I didn't fight the creases.

From far away, it all looks fine. haha

Some fabrics didn't stretch at all....and they were next to very stretchy fabrics.  sigh!!

The back is a muslin

I used Bottom Line Ivory for the top and the bobbin.

The binding was a supreme pain in the butt. There are lots of creases in the binding to make up for the curves. I sewed the binding down, then sewed around it again to make sure everything was caught in the stitching. It's not pretty, but it's finished.
