This is the not so pretty quilt top that I pinbasted Friday. The 'block' consists of the square of colorful fabric to which I added a 2 1/2 inch strip of fabric. I just used every old thing that had. A lot I did not particularly like. Some were given to me...some I do not recall from where they came. Some were leftovers from other projects.
Can you tell there is somewhat of hump in the middle...from about halfway on up. There is an actual hump. Two seams landed on each other and the backing is made of flannel and is thick and it just would not lay flat and stay flat no matter how much I ironed it! I think quilting will help it, plus when it is washed the rest of it will fluff up and maybe it will lay flatter and be less noticeable. Whatever happens it is no big deal because it is going to be a quilt to cuddle under while watching TV.

I got the above ready to post on Friday but wanted to add more. Just did not get it done. I came in here for something else and thought I might as well finish it.
It has rained some today...not a lot, but enough for things to be damp. And it is clouding back up like it might mean business this time.
I am headed to the sewing room. My older daughter was here this weekend and she played with my little Economy Blocks that are made from solid fabrics. I had wanted her to come help but hated to ask cause I know she works and has stuff to do on weekends. And when we were over there last I did not think of taking them, and I don't think I had all of them made.
Just a photo I hope will be pleasing to your eye...
I love the quilt - very nice.
ReplyDeleteIt poured all night, this morning and is still raining as I type this. Rain and more rain here.
I love the sunflower - one of my favorite flowers!
Have a great day
Caught up on your posts, Rose. I sent The Copper Clapper Caper to Tony...he will enjoy that. Love your Economy blocks and this quilt you have made for cosy use; nothing I make is perfect or anything close to it. Hope Hubby is okay now.
ReplyDeleteGreat scrap buster! Sometime I'm doubtful about my scrap busting quilts...maybe too scrappy. But I always end of loving them after they are quilted
ReplyDeleteI think the tv blanket will be perfect!!
ReplyDeleteLove the sunflower Rose...and hope you need the rain!!
Lovely quilts and such a bright and cheery flower.
ReplyDeleteNice quilt. Just the kind my mother made too, using all manner of leftover fabric. She used flannel for backing and the end result was so cuddly and warm.
ReplyDeleteIt is so perfect and professional! And I don't see a bump!
ReplyDeleteThat is a pretty quilt! A TV quilt is always nice to have. The flower is bright and happy. It is good to see flowers now because we won't much longer I'm afraid. We had a thunderstorm earlier tonight. I am hoping our weather will cool just a little soon! Take care Rose!
ReplyDeleteThat will be a perfect tv watching quilt. What a great way to use up material.

ReplyDeleteOh I think the quilt is pretty and turned out great.

I love the quilt! It just blows my mind, all the quilts you make. I simply cannot make any sense to placing quilt pieces together.
ReplyDeleteInteresting how it was a mish mash of fabrics but somehow you have created an intriguing quilt - for snuggling under. Love the sunflower and the nice visit to play in your sewing room from your daughter.
ReplyDeleteI like you quilt, more than a lap quilt for sure. It will be a cozy one I bet!
ReplyDeletelove that photo very clear.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely thought - snuggling up in a cozy quilt and watching tv while the weather does its thing outside. Mxx
