This quilt has been two years in the making.
The sun was very bright on Monday and so the colors are washed out.
This quilt was a Craftsy class that I purchased the whole kit. It was a Block of the month in 2015.
I started a little late in 2015 and I dragged my feet on it. It is a Jinny Beyer quilt. She is a perfectionist! I am not! So you can imagine my frustration!
Ron wanted me to make this quilt because he knew I wouldn't do it without a push. He purchased the backing from Nuttal's. I pushed for a very dark backing because I didn't want the quilting to show. The cost alone was enough to stop me from doing this quilt at all.
Jinny likes to hand piece! I do not! There is also paper piecing in this quilt and I don't like doing that much.
I thought it would be best to use black batting so there would not be any bearding. I custom quilted it. I am not very good at custom quilting! Most of it is OK but there are mistakes every where. I will not point out any of them because most people will not see the mistakes. They just jump out at me.
I am just happy this quilt is done! I finished it last weekend. I loaded another quilt on Monday and it is now quilted and I am doing the hand stitching of the binding. Yeah! I have another quilt loaded on the HQ and hopefully I will have it off early next week.
Keep on Scrappin!
Its a beautiful quilt. I had to smile reading through your blog and wondered why you signed up for the class since you don't enjoy the techniques used in making the quilt. You sure did a marvelous job on it!
