here. I got a lot done on this quilt before Thanksgiving, and finished the back yesterday.
 |
Finished sewing on the hills! Now to trim/square up the quilt top. |
 |
One of the piles of trimmings. |
 |
The other pile of trimmings. This quilt seemed to produce a lot of scraps! But I also used a lot of scraps. |
 |
One hour later (with my husband's math help), I was a very tired and hungry pregnant lady. But happy to have this quilt near square! |
Then the back:
 |
Fabrics from my stash. |
 |
Cut into lots of variable width strips. |
 |
The back is an I-Spy (with a few strips for newborns--high contrasts and black whites). |
Finished sewing the back together Friday night, I think. I had planned to use some scraps of batting for this quilt, but I didn't have any pieces big enough (and refuse to have more than two seams in my batting). I decided to buy a whole bolt of batting (90"x40 yards!), so I'm waiting for it to be delivered before I can do the quilting on this quilt. I can't wait for that part! The sky, mountains, and hills will all have different quilting, and texture. It's really going to transform it and make it more alive, I guess.
