Actually, this quilt been done for a few months but I didn't like the photos I took, so I put this final update on hold.
Blogging and photographing my projects lets me share them with family, friends, and other crafters. Taking photos also helps me remember the details of how something was made, but it is a burden and does not come naturally to me. Frequently I have to make myself move on to other projects by accepting photos that are suitable, even when they don't look as professional as I would like them.
These are the final details about replacing Grandma's quilt.
- The name of the quilt is Quarantine Quadrangle Quilt or Q3 for short. It measures 90"x108".
- I sent the quilt top off to Nancy at Stitch After Stitch Machine Quilting. I HAD to choose this heart pattern for the quilting:
- Close up of the completed heart quilting. I LOVE it!
- I used my sewing machine's walking foot to stitch the binding.
- Nothing had been hand stitched on this quilt up until this point, so I HAD to sew the binding down by hand.
- This is the quilt on a double bed (in a room of our home that has more natural lighting.)
- Here is the quilt on our king bed (natural lighting in this room sucks!)
