Happy to have my first completed finish for 2016-
I seldom use solid backing as I don't feel confident having my quilting showing this much but have to say I am pleased with how this turned out.
The quilt does not have a home to go to as yet but it's a good finish to start a hopefully productive year.
A simple strip quilt that is cot size and I make using the pattern from www.maryquilts.com. It uses up stash fabric and I get the chance to practice FMQ designs.
Swirls, wishbone and ribbon meander. Glide thread top and bobbin.

ReplyDeleteIt's lovely Marlene. What size is it, it's hard to tell with nothing to compare it to.
ReplyDeleteOh and yes, I will keep the Anchor Bag. It's too nice to give away.
ReplyDeleteIt turned out super! Love the chance to practise FMQ on a "real" quilt. I feel the same as you about the solid backings but often look at quilts I have done and think why didn't I do a solid backing to show off all this hard and beautiful work?? ;-)
ReplyDeleteWell done - a great start to the year - the colours in this quilt are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThis is a lovely first finish! And lovely quilting! x
