Finishes

No excuses I just haven't posted for over 2 months but there has ben sewing and life.

3 more quilt tops have been completed . I must say it is a good feeling.


Finished 

Pieced back

Close up

Bonnie Hunter's  Rick Rack Nines is a swap of fabric strips randomly assembled. I worked on this on and off during the last hip replacement. I named mine Line Dancing because I am now able to sort of shuffle along with the grandies.



City Lights 
A quilt camp top from last spring .


A 15 min play exercise from Victoria 
Findly Wolf. This one has been a top for over 6 years. Happy to have it finished.


All these strips became the bindings for the 3 quilts.

Recently I have switched to magic binding.  Yes there is more cutting and two strips to make each binding BUT a nice machine attached binding.

My old hands love it.

Hope you are having nice weather. I am looking out at blue sky with cotton ball clouds.

Three lovely finishes, Terry!

I'm looking out at grey skies and rain - an ideal day to stay inside and play with fabric.

Three finished quilts is a wonderful achievement. I really like the scrappy nine-patch setting, the big light squares make it look really good.

It's wonderful to see your finished quilts! and the pieced backing looks great. I'll have to have a look at the magic binding, I really do think machine binding is a good idea.
