This is the first time I've entered Amy's Sew&Tell at Amylouwho: random thoughts from a multi-tasker

For this one I used the same purple fabric for binding, except this one turned out a bit wider, which looks nice. I realise my work is getting cleaner and cleaner, apart from the free motion, which is a great feeling. This is the more Christmassy quilt of them all, I'm a bit sad to part from it. I must say if it weren't meant for who it's meant for, I'm not sure I would! Fabrics by Amy Butler, moda, Ikea and a couple of others mixed in, just like the previous ones. It's a 40"x56" lap quilt.
Sandy its beautiful! What a fabulous quilt!
ResponderEliminarThank you! :) Still need a lot of free motion quilting practice ;)
ResponderEliminarOh I love it! free motion quilting is hard but I have noticed with lots of practice it does get better! yours looks great!
ResponderEliminarThank you. I guarantee it looks much better from a far than close up ;)
ResponderEliminarVery cool! I am sure the person you are giving it to will love it.
ResponderEliminarWelcome to the party! Your quilt is beautiful!! I can see why you would want to keep!
ResponderEliminarthis looks so beautiful
ResponderEliminarGreat job on your first Sew and Tell! I love how it turned out, and the fabrics you chose are great...I wish I knew what they all were because I really like all of them, lol!
ResponderEliminar:) Thank you all for your lovely comments. Sara, the back and the binding are from Ikea. The binding is actually a pillow case the have of this luscious kind of shinny fabric. The solid white is also Ikea. Then I have some Amy Butler and the Christmas fabrics are from moda. There are some others I really don't know because they are from my stash and I can't really tell. Here in Portugal it's really uncommon to have designer fabrics, you just have your ordinary fabric shops with all sorts of fabrics :) Hope it helps!
ResponderEliminarNicely done! You've got some pretty fabrics in this quilt. I can see why you'd be tempted to keep it!
ResponderEliminarsuper cute!
ResponderEliminarVery cute!
ResponderEliminarI'm so glad that you decided to join in on Sew and Tell Fridays! Your quilt is just beautiful! I have just started doing free-motion quilting, too, and I can see a lot of difference in the last quilt I did. It definitely wasn't as stressful as the first time I tried it! I've only kept one quilt out of the 4 total that I've made and I'm new to quilting. It is a little hard to give some of them away, isn't it? lol
ResponderEliminarYes, I'm hoping it will get better with training, but I must admit I haven't tried it since :) Thank you for stoping by :)
