I do not recommend making one this large (52 x 60 inches) unless you have bandaids for the blisters you'll get from the scissors. Or maybe I just don't have the right tools. But it's finished and it's gorgeous. :D
Made with five Moda charm packs on the front side, Bella Solids on the back, and flannel in the middle instead of batting. |
Sure is pretty, glad you finished it. :thumbup: :thumbup:

It's a beauty! I love the wonderful fluffy look to it. Hope your blisters are well healed, and that you're "well-heeled" enough to buy some of those special scissors the gals are mentioning to do your next one pain free!

Beautiful quilt. I've been thinking of making one but don't think I can handle it with all that cutting.
|
But it is beautiful!!!! Well worth any blisters and the price of a box of bandaids
|
absolutely beautiful quilt!
|
I am not a fan of rag quilts but I really love the one you made!
|
Yes, I know exactly what you mean. I also made a rag quilt and was so surprised that the snipping took so long and was NOT fun. l0l But, the end result... your quilt... is beautiful.

That is stunning. I love how the raw edges fuzzed up! I wanna make one some day.
Just a question, how do you prevent all the unravling on the raw edges from clogging up your washer? |
