Another finish to report, all this one required was a binding. Like my
scrappy picnic quilt, I started this masculine-looking lap quilt ages ago. I was
so inspired by a picture I saw on
Design*Sponge (which I
pinned to Pinterest) years ago, that I just
had to recreate it.
However, I gave up on it, due to its imperfections. But it weighed on me. It wasn’t
that bad. Certainly someone could use it, even if I donated it.
So I ordered some of the quilter’s linen in charcoal and finished it up. Now that it’s done, I’m not nearly as hard on it. It has a warm houndstooth flannel back and could really keep someone warm when the temperatures drop.
Linking up happily to
The Littlest Thistle, as I am just squeezing this one in before the deadline!
Well, it looks perfect from here. And no one’s going to gets out the magnifying glass so I reckon you’ll get away with whatever you didn’t like about it 😉 Well done on another finish!
One thing I really like about quilting is that you don’t have to pull out all the stops (read that as: Y seams! paper piecing! handwork!) to create something beautiful. Even a simple patchwork, when rendered in beautiful fabrics, has a certain elegance.
This is a great color theme for a man’s quilt! Great finish, someone will enjoy your work for sure 🙂
Looks like a perfectly good quilt to me! Congrats on the finish 🙂
