I finished a Quilt of Valour this week. I was really pushing to get this done before my new baby arrives. (Only two weeks to go until my c-section!) I am so happy that this is finished and ready to go out in the mail to it’s soldier.
Here is the centre panel. I added the black borders to fit it in with the Swoon blocks. (Swoon blocks are from the Swoon pattern by Camille Roskelley of Thimbleblossoms.) |
It’s hard to see but I quilted the black borders with feathers. The white borders between the black and the Swoon blocks are loop-de-loop quilting and the rest of the quilt is stipple quilting. |
The outer two inch white borders are quilted with figure 8s. |
I put a striped binding on the quilt because I love striped bindings. |
The quilt is backed with a flannel moose and maple leaf print from the Oh Canada line. So soft and cozy! |
I rarely post pictures of myself but here I am on Monday when my order from Patchwork Threads came in. I am eight months pregnant here. I ordered a onesie for my little Future Quilter too. 🙂 I also ordered the pink “Swoon Block” t-shirt. Plus, I won Challenge 1 in the Sewvivor Sew Along (by random draw) so I will have the Hexagon shirt coming to me too! I am decked out with quilting t-shirts now. |
Wow, mad skillz, girl!!
It's so exciting that the baby is due soon, how on earth do you get all of this done???
XX!
Beautiful quilt!
Congrats on your baby girl!
