I worked on quilting one of my oldest flimsies - one of two Bonnie Hunter mysteries I have made.
Roll, Roll Cotton Boll
I quilted it on my DSM with some spirals. I figured that would go with a quilt by that name and it's one of the few free motion quilting things I know how to do.
84 x 100
It's far too large for my husband to even hold up while standing on a chair.
(I usually hang the quilts out on the clothesline even in winter for some pictures but I'm not going out in 19 inches of snow and drifts)
I remember that with this quilt it was the first time I tried using an Easy Angle ruler for the HSTs. After that I was hooked and make HSTs no other way.
It doesn't look like it from afar but it used up a LOT of scraps...
...and I mean a LOT of scraps. When I dug this flimsy out of the box it was in I also found the left over scraps that were scraps from this quilt so not all scraps were used in the making of this quilt.
I used muslin for the backing. I use muslin a lot for backs - just like grandma used to do.
I think I'll put it on the guest bed.
I'm just glad it's out of the UFO pile and in the finished pile.
At the end of the month I'll link up to Julie's Binding Blitz
