Three Little Finishes
All contain some '30s reproduction fabrics with little animals or kids playing. I made all the block sets last year and assembled the tops and finished the quilts this month.
#1
Snowball and Nine Patch
'42 x 42
'30s repros and muslin
Quilted on the diagonals on my DSM.
Backing and binding.
2.
Basket Weave
42 x 42
'30s repros with an orange solid "woven" in.
Quilted with horizontal and vertical lines on my DSM.
Backing and binding are the same multicolored orange batik.
3.
Log Cabin Variation
40 x 40
This one was actually inspired by a vintage one that had more of a zig-zaggy look - maybe more like Fields and Furrows layout. Well, anyway, when I went to lay out my blocks like that I went "ewwwww, yucky, icky". So I played around with the little five inch blocks and came up with this layout.
I quilted it with spirals in a multicolored thread on my DSM.
And here's the backing and binding.
Now the little finishes are ready to comfort some little ones.
And sew on...
