It's all crinkly!! :-)
 
3 Attachment(s)
Worked my fingers to the bone to get the binding handsewn over the last couple of days and get it washed for Christmas. It came out soft and crinkly, looks like it's antique. I know that I should have washed and blocked it if I want to show it but, I wanted it dried so that I could give it to my daughter now. I figure I can take it back, wash it, then block it flat after I sew a sleeve on the back.

I just love how this looks and feels. Close-up pictures, warts and all.

Beautiful!!!!

I love your quilt! I saw that pattern on the cover of Quiltmaker? (or other) magazine and the colours they picked do not do the pattern justice. When I saw your quilt I thought it should have been on the cover. You can always block it later for show.

Love everything about it. Great job. I hope your dayghter was as thrilled as I would have been to receive such a wonderful quilt.

Double WOW - your color choice and your fabric choices are incredible! I just inherited a lot of brown fabric and did not know what to do with it. I may just have to copy this one!

What does blocking do and how do you do it, I have heard about this a couple times and I don't know what it means

Here's about blocking a quilt, one that has the binding on and one before binding. I have always done it before binding but I just wanted to get this quilt completed. I have two 4'x8' sheets of the pink insulation board that I lay out to do it.

Beautiful, I love the crinkly look. No way would I press a finished quilt and have never blocked a quilt.
