So, I'll confess up front that this was for a wedding last fall. I just was stuck, stuck, stuck.
But with renewed vigor and energy, I have been on a run: finishing, finishing, finishing. I have enjoyed getting back to quilting and getting results feeds the impetus to do more. And so on and so forth
Last week I got over my issue of how to get my last 2 slices of this tree skirt. and worked out the kinks. Each of my 2 panels of strips was able to produce 3 sections. But I needed 8 total. So I found a short cut to use cut offs for the tops and then only have to piece each bottom.
That got me going. And yesterday I got to the finished stage.
Here is my machine image of the quilting process: just a domestic Bernina 34 years old.
Love the bright colors of the Timeless Treasures jelly roll.
Here is the front quilted.
Here is a photo of the quilting on the back. Just follow the lines.
It looks more pinky/orangey in color but is actually a red with those lime green dots.
I spent allllllll of the Superbowl hemming the binding, and a little longer. ( Notice the focus light to aid my vision.) I just wanted it done.
All it needs is a label! Voila!!
(Hmmm I think I will make a 2nd for the wedding in March.)
it looks pretty good to me, almost the same style as the one I made
ReplyDeleteYes, it is! I "borrowed" the idea.
DeleteLove the tree skirt and I'll bet the recipients will love it too! ❤
