Hello and welcome.
I have a finish to report. It's of a top I made in 2018, as part of a challenge to use up a slew of 2 inch strips of 30's reproduction fabrics. It is the crayon box pattern by Bonnie Hunter, found on her blog under free patterns. Her directions are for 2.5 inch strips, so I resized it for 2 inch strips.
I sent it off to a local long arm quilter to have it quilted - it's a pretty hefty size and I did not look forward to shoving it under my old but trusty Kenmore.
Quilted and laid out on the design floor:
And a close up of the border, using very vintage yardage, an early Aunt Grace fabric:
Bound with the same border fabric. No home for this one, yet.
Linking up with Midweek Makers, Put your foot down at For the love of geese, Can I get a Whoop Whoop, Nina-Marie, Finished or Not at Alycia Quilts, Oh Scrap at Quilting is more Fun than Housework.

I really like this one - the fabric choices are great - and your border sets them off so well!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your super scrappy UFO finish!!!
ReplyDeleteIt turned out beautifully. I'm with you, I can't imagine trying to quilt a large one on a domestic. Thank you so much for linking up this finish to Put your foot down, I love it.
ReplyDeleteHello Viridian,
ReplyDeleteThis is a quilt I can instantly fall in love with. Those vintage design fabrics are so pretty. What a gorgeous quilt to have finished just in time for Christmas!
