1st finished quilt
May. 21st, 2010 07:08 pmI talked about making a quilt earlier this week. I had it mostly done in a day but had to stop due to lack of thread. After that it was just a bit of assembly and clipping the seams over the last few days to get the fraying. Pics were taken before the clipping, but it's enough to give you the idea.
Georgia LOVES her new quilt. Totally lights up every time I hand it for her and goes straight for the "G" panel every time.

Overall pic of the quilt. Birdie fabric was the jumping-off point, design of the quilt is totally my own (as if hourglasses, stars and hearts are difficult) mostly to make the solid flannels less boring because I couldn't find any other patterns that worked with the birdies. Flannels just aren't something that is done down here, so the pickings are slim. Not as if there is a lot of choice in quilting flannels anywhere mind you.

Close-up of the "G" panel and the birds and bugs fabric.

No progress at all on the sewing room since I last wrote. A local SCA mommy was available to socialize today so I opted for that over cleaning. Must get this place in order this weekend when Jason is around to watch the baby.
