A short post to say hello and show you a little mini quilt finish. I recently dug through my unfinished projects cabinet and found an old test block that I had started to hand quilt. Are you ready for how long ago I started this? The text block was in 2012 and I started hand quilting it as part of my 2013 Fat Quarterly Retreat classes. Goodness how time flies. Anyway, it was tucked away and I completely forgot about it.
So I brought it along with me for a weekend of camping. There I finished hand stitching it and hand stitched the binding onto the back. I washed it when we got home and it kind of warped a bit (upper left corner). I think I'll give it a press (can you press out wonkiness?) and will pop it up on the sewing room wall. Happy happy happy little finish!

sometimes wonky is good
What a sweet block and all the sweeter when it's a WIP :-)
Oh so pretty! Your stitches look really good.
I like your little star quilt's wonkiness. Isn't it the best feeling to get those old, nearly forgotten projects finished.
Beautiful Wall Art! Jxo
I love it. A press might change it a bit, or wash it again and block it (pull it into shape) while it is a bit wet and let it dry back to shape.
What a pretty little mini quilt. It will look great on your sewing room wall.
This is such a pretty mini! Congrats on the finish.
I love the colors you used to quilt, I would never have enough guts to do that!
Lovely thing to have shining down on you in the sewing room!
Enjoy your new wall art, so good to get a long term WIP finished!
Very nice, glad you found it again :o)
It's just so sweet!
It's gorgeous! If ironing doesn't get rid of enough of the wonk, try blocking it!
