This has been on my “Want To Make” list for a while. Probably not something to start on Thursday
for a challenge that closes on Sunday at noon.
It is 60” x 60”. A perfect size
for on the couch. I had to quite a bit
of hunting for fabric. I wanted a number
of prints for the colored balls. I don’t
buy many printed fabrics. I used several
scraps that someone else sold at one of the sewing rummage sales. I used prints that I got as free fat quarters
from shop hops. Some I have no idea
where they came from. Considering I have
had several people hand me a bag of fabric over the past several years as they
were all downsizing, I have way more fabric than I ever thought I would
have. Did I mention that the bags were
generally stuffed to bursting with fabric?
Thursday Afternoon
Friday Afternoon
It was almost comical when I was ironing the finished top
and had the thought that maybe I should of looked to see if I had batting. I had to piece two different cotton batting
pieces together that are not the same manufacturer, but I doubt anyone will
ever know. For big quilts I generally
buy backing after I have the top together.
Lately I have been piecing backings.
I did come up with two 2 yard pieces of fabric to make a backing.
I did simple line quilting. Given more time, I may of done something a
little more interesting.
