It's been a while. In fact, so long, I have two quilts finished.
Firstly, the proverbial quilt featuring the lyrics from one of my favourite The [Dixie] Chicks songs. Coincidentally, the words kind of go with the big lockdown of 2020 when I put this one together.
Being shot cotton and hand quilted with a wool batting, it is super soft. While I remember, this quilt contains little bits of 'other' blue gingham, as seen in the G above, given to me by my Gran's cousin. She passed away in March 2020.
Even more recently, like this weekend, I have also finished my other big make started in February last year - the Free Wheeling Single Girl quilt.
It's a big one. About two metres x two metres. Again it is hand quilted with a wool batting. I splashed out on a wide backing for the first time. It weighs a tonne. This one is destined for my cousin. The first on my Mum's side to turn 50.
I like both of these quilts very much.
Two amazing quilts! I do love all the colourful variety in your FWSG quilt!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Linda. It’s the first quilt I’ve really had to plan ahead to make sure all the colours would line up.
