Quirky Quilt
4 Attachment(s)
Pattern: cheaper by the dozen
Fabric: set of fat quarters from Wal-mart - in their sale bin $2 for 6. Got two sets so there's more duplication in this than the pattern called for. Border: from Joann's. I saw a magazine from the 90's that used a big floral print for appliques. I wanted to try that. I might have "liked" it better without that addition, but ... it's different and hopefully kind of fun. Quilting: I used daisies and loop-de-loops. This is the second quilt in a row that I've quilted without breaking a needle or breaking a thread. (oops! Did I way that out loud? OH NO!) :) Backing: from Connecting Threads - when they had their basics for $2.48/yd. Batting: pieced from leftovers So ... entire thing was less than $20. Where I had appliqued the flowers and sewn the rick rack I had some waves in the quilt top. I starched the daylights out of it before I sandwiched it then spray basted it extra around the applique. When I started quilting it I sewed around each large block to stabilize it then quilted the blocks around the applique first. Came out without any puckers or weird things. Hurray! |
Sweet! The price tag makes it all sweeter!

Confession: the second yellow ric rac isn't really supposed to be there - I sewed it in the wrong place and absolutely hate to rip. So Design Decision - two rows of yellow ric rac. :)
Ever since I did a pattern called Sidelights I've been attracted by assymetric designs - that's why the black doesn't go all the way around. Well, that and I'm really cheap and that saved more ric rac for another quilt. :P |
Love it!! So pretty!
