for independence day i made a quilt! it's my first, and i'm very happy with it (so far- almost done.)
time had come to clean out my stash of scrap fabric before it got out of hand. there's all sorts of vintage and new fabrics in this thing.. hawaiian prints, chenille, wool, flocked polyester, gold brocade, velour, silks, kimono, tafetta, old christmas tablecloth, knits, handkercheifs, vintage embroideries & appliques, tie-dye, jersey... yeah this is dry clean only. the backside is a satin sheet i had in the back of the closet.
what do you mean i shouldn't really be up here?
friday night i started cutting and sewing squares together. i actually finished the whole thing once last night but it had serious issues. off came the back and i started again. now i am almost done attaching the back again, and have to put on the edge binding. i hada 3 different kinds of satin blanket binding, so i cut and pieced them together for patchwork edging. i hope it looks as cool as it does in my head. wish me luck!
