A Beautiful Finish and a Lovely Beginning




This low-volume quilt was started at the beginning of 2020.  Just some simple retreat sewing with some precuts.  And honestly, I have considered this quilt just a little throw-a-way.  But I needed something to hand quilt and it is winter, after all.  As I worked on this quilt - 57" x 70"- I slowly fell in love with it.  It is seriously bereft of color and the design in minimal.  So, what's to love?  It is all in the Texture!




















Just as I started quilting this, I accidentally spilled some of my Crystal Lite cherry drink on it.  After finishing the quilting and binding, I used some dish detergent on the stains, washed it, and the stains came out.  Phew.  

Meanwhile, I’ve started a new bed quilt from a group of fabrics that I’ve been saving for just this purpose.  This pattern has a neat woven effect, and I’m eager to see how this will come together.  All the background pieces need to be cut, and then?  Assembly!
