I finished off the binding of the 50 Shades of Brown quilt, stitching on the patio on a beautiful day. Lovely breeze, umbrella for shade, and a cool drink. Quiltalong in 2020 by Lori of Humble Quilts Blog.
The binding took hardly any time at all.
This pic shows the quilting texture a bit more. Simple stitch in the ditch. I posted these pics on Lori's Humble Quilts Facebook page and the quilt garnered a lot of attention and kind words. I may enter this one in the upcoming Fair.
Another little quilt bossed its way to life almost immediately. I was looking through my patterns binder and came across the Mini Charmers 2 booklet, from Anka's Treasures, designer Heather Mulder Peterson. The quilts are based on 2.5" charm squares. Having a full drawer of scrap 2.5"squares, I eagerly dove in.
Such a fun detour.
The Folded Corner Clipper tool came in very handy. I like to trim off the excess from the corner before stitching the seam, so I don't have to mark it.
The rows came together quickly and I then got all the rest of the white background cut.
All straight stitch sewing and really only a couple of seams to match--a pleasure!
All done except deciding if I want to add the applique leaves to the flowers. Lots of different colorways could be made of this pattern. Love it.
