I finished my first quilt for the year.
I quilted and added the binding to the not so little whale quilt last week. It finishes at 53 x 68.
I took it to my guild meeting today. You can really see the quilting in this picture. Not bad, but I need to pay attention when it comes to turning corners.
I finished the sailboat star top.
It looks much better sewn together than it did on the design wall.
I made a small runner with the odd sized blocks.
I've finished piecing all the blocks for my current leader ender project.
I still need to cut the setting triangles then I will put it up on the design wall.
I have way too many tops that need quilted! I started the year with 18 tops and currently have 30!
How did that happen.
Yesterday I was prepping a few of the tops for quilting...making sure they had backs, cutting batting, etc. I found this top that I picked up last July from a Quilts 4 Kids meeting. It's not really cotton...not sure what it is.
Today I was going to give it a good press, top stitch the edges and decide on a back. I found a hole in one of the squares...no biggie I've fixed holes before...but then I looked closer.
There are a lot of little holes like this all throughout the quilt. In roughly the same place. They are not from a bug as they are too consistent in placement and size. Since there are so many and the fabric is kinda iffy (definitely not a kid's quilt) I'm going to do something I never thought I'd ever do, I'm going to throw it away. Yikes! Would you keep it?
