WIP: The last minute finished quilt
8:00 AMI finished this small quilt -I call it a stroller quilt/blanket- on our way to Thessaloniki, while my husband was driving...Hand binding a small quilt can be a very easy "on the road" project.
First of all I have to credit my inspiration, that was NanaCompany and her wonderful quilting, and the book "Warman's Vintage Quilts", which includes a very similar doll quilt.
I used on the top the line "30's Playtime" by Chloe's Closet from Moda fabrics and a dark brown cotton solid, and for the backing Red flower Floursack from Windham fabrics. The quilt measures approximately [63,5 cm x 83,8cm] 25'' Χ 33'' inches, and it was machine quilted, with a few hand-quilted details, and hand-binded.
I decided to keep this space of our living room for photographing my smaller quilts. I think it looks really cool.
The quilt is listed for sale in my Etsy Shop:
Now on this week's statistics. I have a lot to do, and so little time....

Super cute quilt - and I agree - your quilt looks great in that location.
ReplyDeleteThat is sweet. I never thought to put black with 30s prints but I will have to bear it in mind.
ReplyDeletethis is so cute and I love the contrast of the dark background, really makes the colors pop! I am stopping from the WIP hop, I would love to have you drop by my post: http://domesticdeficitdisorder.blogspot.com/2013/01/its-wednesday-wip.html
