quilted , washed and bound.
It's a dreary rainy day today , hard to get great pictures...
I started quilting this last night at 10 pm, and didn't stop til 2 a.m.
That, is not normal for me! I'm a in bed at ten kind of girl...
But I really wanted to get this First BASICS KIDS quilt done.
I have one more to make...
this will be auctioned off with the first 20 BASICS HOUSE BLOCK quilts
that many of you contributed...
I left the raw edges of the pieces the kids laid out, so when I washed it, the edges curled up
and raveled... The soft flannel backing, makes it a really soft quit....
The binding was nice and cheery! It's from the robot line from Michel miller...
A great stripe.. I love stripes...
Feels good to finish it!
Why did I stay up til 2 a.m. quilting it?
Because I played hooky from sewing during the day
so I could get my motorcycle serviced...
It was a nice day, what can I say...
Things just got to be done! ;-)
now to get back to my 15 minutes of play.
FABULOUS!! This one ought to bring a pretty penny!
ReplyDeleteCool bike too!
Very nice! I love the binding on the kids' quilt. It looks so cuddly! Hope you get some better riding weather soon!
ReplyDeleteIt's wonderful V! I love the blue stripe border fabric, it's so right for it, as is the orange stripe binding fabric :) Happy riding!
ReplyDeleteI love the border you chose! It looks great! So glad you got your motorcycle fixed. You picked a perfect day too!! I hope you and hubby have a great time!
ReplyDeleteI know this is a labor of love but you're going to be deserving of lots of "ME" time after all of your hard work. A very sweet quilt.
ReplyDeleteIt's a fabulous quilt and you sure put your heart and soul into them V!
ReplyDeleteHope you got to ride that shiny bike after it was service!
Your motorcycle is a beauty! On your quilt...did you machine quilt this on your machine or do you have a long arm? Looks great!!
ReplyDeleteThat's so sweet. I love that binding fabric. The quilt is adorable. Are you ready for a nap yet?
ReplyDeleteIt looks great! Love the detailing on your bike, too. My first bike was a little 250 Rebel, but my second bike, a 750 Magna, a b-day gift to myself when I turned 30, had some badass dragon detailing on it. I sure do miss riding...
ReplyDeleteVictoria, I love you, your hubby, your quilts, and your thirst for Sis Boom..you are such a delight!!
ReplyDeletethat quilt came out so wonderfully!
