I had 2 goals this weekend- get the borders on my tumbler and baste two little quilts. I am very happy to say I got it done! That does not happen often as usually my quilty goals take longer than I think they will.
Here is the tumbler with borders. It will finish about 58" by 66". I may just have enough of the border fabric left to do binding but if not I'll make it a scrappy binding.
Here are the hexagons- it is 26" from flat side to flat side.
I did a double row of hexagons on the border- some of that last row will get cut off when I add binding.
I think I have it figured out how to quilt it. It is just deciding on color(s) now.
When I basted the little nine patch I used the wool batting I had pressed to get out the wrinkles. It had fluffed right up!
You can't really see it that well but as I basted the stitches really compressed the batting back down so I am hoping when I hand quilt it, it will not look too 'fluffy'!
Here it is...it is 14"x 18".
I'll enjoy quilting this one!
Happy Stitching!
Congrats on accomplishing your goals! That feels so good, doesn't it?
ReplyDeleteTumbler quilts are always fun to me. I admire your hexie project--I don't have that much patience. Your little mini quilt calls to me. Very sweet.
