Well here it is, my last finish of the summer. I always love watching quilts evolve through
fabric selection and design wall stages, to cuddling with them on your lap as you bind them to this final finish stage. It was also fun to read your previous comments left and to discover I'm in good company when it comes to enjoying hand binding.
I used the Fabric line: Hot For Chocolate II by Betsy Chutchian with Blue Hill Fabrics to create this quilt and a dog pantograph upon my mom's request. (I think she wanted to match my dad's quilt.) I used a cream Kig Tut thread from Superior. (I almost went with a brown thread, but like how the cream showed the quilting a little bit more.)
This quilt measures a cozy 53" x 73".
My parents arrive this weekend for their final visit of the summer. I can't wait to gift it to her!
With Smiles,
Val:)
What great colors Val! And I love the dog pantograph!
ReplyDeleteThat's a beautiful hand work! I think you were right in choosing this color. The unusual quilting design stand out prettily.
ReplyDeleteP.S.: I always finish my binding by hand on the back of my quilts. :-)
Beautiful fabric choices, the quilting accents this all very well. I too always hand bind my quilts.
ReplyDeleteGreat quilt!!! Love the quilting too - so sweet!!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure your mum is going to love this gorgeous quilt. What a cute panto. Do you hand guide or have a computerised machine..
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful! I love the fabrics, and that dog pantograph is adorable! Thanks for linking to TGIFF.
ReplyDeleteA Chevron quilt has been my to do list for ages!!!! This is an awesome finish! Jackson would look right at home sitting on a lap with that dog pantograph😜 I haven't gotten to the chevrons yet though! But there is a Chevron inspired block in the FPP BOM I'm offering next year though😁
ReplyDeleteThis is so lovely! I'm with you ... hand binding means that I get to cuddle the quilt a little longer before it's handed over to it's forever owner :)
ReplyDeleteLove it! Back to school for this school nurse this week, I am already exhausted! ;)
