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
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet block and all the sweeter when it's a WIP :-)
ReplyDeleteOh so pretty! Your stitches look really good.
ReplyDeleteI like your little star quilt's wonkiness. Isn't it the best feeling to get those old, nearly forgotten projects finished.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Wall Art! Jxo
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty little mini quilt. It will look great on your sewing room wall.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a pretty mini! Congrats on the finish.
ReplyDeleteI love the colors you used to quilt, I would never have enough guts to do that!
ReplyDeleteLovely thing to have shining down on you in the sewing room!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your new wall art, so good to get a long term WIP finished!
ReplyDeleteVery nice, glad you found it again :o)
ReplyDeleteIt's just so sweet!
ReplyDeleteIt's gorgeous! If ironing doesn't get rid of enough of the wonk, try blocking it!
