Anyway, I FINALLY finished the Old Red Barn Quiltalong Quilt!!! Oh the quilt has been done for ages it was the binding that I was stalling on. If you see the post below this one you will see that I won't be stalling on the bindings anymore!!!! Here is a close up shot of my pieced binding. I was pretty happy with the results and would probably do something like this again.
Here is the quilt before it was washed. I did take more pictures once it was all crinkly. I'll post those later. Right now the quilt is all folded and in one of college girl's many piles of 'stuff to be packed'.
On to the next thing.
Praise - for my wonderful family. We all went to lunch together today and had a nice time and a farewell for college girl.
Prayers - for our trip to the Seattle area tomorrow. 6 hours of driving one way. Getting college girl moved into the dorm. Our time with family and friends and then the drive home again on Sunday.
I like your quilt!!! That would be a good one to use up some of my stash. Also, I laughed at your comment about Jennifer's dieting tip. I'm with you - one snack size is an improvement from standing in the pantry gobbling up the regular-sized bag, as I once discovered I could quite easily accomplish!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations - I love this quilt! Your pieced binding is awesome - it's more work, but very cool looking!
ReplyDeletePraising and praying with you - 6 hours is a lot!
Very pretty! I like the pieced binding also. Something to try in the future.
ReplyDeleteIt turned out so great. The pieced binding looks awesome! I'm glad you found it easier to stitch the binding with the ladder stitch, it is the stitch I have always used for binding. I really enjoy hand stitching binding (very relaxing)!
ReplyDeleteGreat job on the quilt-it is beautiful-see, even hand sewing is a good ending for a quilt! Have a safe trip.
ReplyDeleteThe quilt is beautiful. I love the fabrics you chose and the binding looks great. Lucky College Girl. :)
ReplyDeleteI remember your quilt when we were doing the quilt along. I love how the colors mesh beautifully together. I'm glad that your done. Congrats!!!
ReplyDeleteIt's lovely, CJ! Very, very pretty. College girl must be thrilled!
ReplyDeleteI just love the colors in the quilt! I have absolutely noone in my life right now to make a quilt with those colors but it sure would be fun.
ReplyDeleteIt's sooo cute! Love the colors!
