Westley’s quilt is finished!

Westley's compass

Quilted, washed, bound and photographed.  All it’s needs is a label with my name and his birthdate. Won’t know that till October.P1030016I glue bind my quilts these days. Notice how sharp the corner is.

hand binding the quiltFor a while I using the sewing machine for the whole binding process. I discovered that there were always section that didn’t get caught in the stitching so I had to go back and fix them manually.  I’m back to simply hand sewing the binding on the reverse side of the quilt.

Westley's compassThis ended up being larger than a crib quilt but smaller than a twin.  I’m hoping this really gets used, put on the floor, whatever – as long as it’s not put away as an heirloom.P1030028This was not a quilt to do fancy quilting on. Both sides have very busy fabric and you really can’t see the quilting pattern.P1030037Looks very nice on the backdrop of the newly stained fence.  Yes, I took time out from fiber-crafts to stain the fence.  Since I did it myself and saved money on paying someone else to do it, I feel I can reward myself with more fabric.

Next quilt is going to be for me!
