Wonderful quilt. I had saved some of my son's clothes and blankies so that one doy Icould make a quilt out of them but have not done it yet but now it's on my list for 2012. Love it!!

I like your boats, and the silky boarder, my kids always love that silky border.

My kids all loved silky blanket binding too Sherian, which is why i made a try at using it on this quilt.
It was quite difficult for me to put it on right though. I learned a lot from my errors: Like I should have cut the batting and backing no more than 1 ½ inches past the edge of the quilt top. Once you add on the ¼ inch seam allowance along the edge of the top, it totals 1 ¾ inches, which just barely fits inside the 2” wide binding. That way the back and front of the binding lined up better, which was one of my major problems. I just used satin binding on another quilt the other day. Since pinning didn’t work so well on the sail boat quilt’s binding, this time I used a fabric glue stick to hold the binding in place while I sewed it on. Goodness that made such a difference in how well the front line of stitching caught the back of the binding! Thanks for all your enthusiasm everybody, it's making me feel better about the quilt! |
You should be proud of yourself, you did an amazing job on this quilt :thumbup:
|
That is just so special, you have done very well and as you now know they love it. Congratulations.
No quilt should be judged ( by it's maker) from any closer than 6 ft. away. If mistakes can be see from this far away then they do need fixing. |
That is so sweet. I have a closet full of baby clothes and you have inspired me!
|
I have to say..that is simply the most adorable and fantastic use of baby clothes I have ever seen..wow....I hope you make a story book to give the child about how is quilt was made..that is great!
