Here it is, borders and binding on, labelled, finito!
Quilting in the ditch made the quares stand out nicely:
You can see the quilting on the back, as well:
I tried a new way of labelling: no hand-sewing involved at all, I just sewed it on as a loose label with the binding. I also put the washing instructions on the label as symbols now, so whoever gets the quilt won't forget how to wash it!
I keep thinking that the quilting is boring on this quilt, but the lack of dense quiltihng makes it really fluffy. I am considering quilting some motif in some of the patches, but haven't decided yet...
What do you think? Leave it as is or add some more quilting? I was thinking maybe the frog with the crown from the backing, quilted in 3 or 4 blocks on the front?
I don't know...I kind of think I'd leave it as is! I like the way the squares stand out. And the wash instructions are great. The new owner of the quilt is going to appreciate that.
ReplyDeletei love the washing instructions on the label!!! great idea
ReplyDeleteI think I would leave it as is too. I follow the "rule" that the amount of quilting should be equal across the quilt...but then rules are made for breaking :0)

very cute! I love how the squares are popping up because of the quilting.
ReplyDeleteI like the way the squares jump out at you with the way it is now. It looks comfy and soft that way.
