Scrappy Corner bits and a Pieced Heart
First up, my scrappy corner bits quilt is done. I love how the different color solid square background adds interest to all the scrappy rainbow bits.
Up close of my happy ...um design element! can you tell what I did?
My pics today were either too sunny or too dark. Oh well, this quilt makes me happy. All the colored triangle bits are left over (throw-away) binding cut offs.
diagonal straight line quilting through each block
...and one of my stash backings I have had for a while. Colors in it are perfect!
So fun!
Next up is a quilt I made for a graduating h.s. great niece. I have no idea what she will think.
70" x 81"
I ordered the kit for this a while ago from Craftsy..when they 'were' Craftsy. I think the colors are fun and modern. I am hoping that will appeal to my g.Niece. Also she is planning to go into some kind of healthcare so I think she might like this.
The heart piecing is especially fun and I love the crinkle stitching I did just in that area.
I backed it with a minty print and a little corner of aqua solid where I put the label. I think with all the solids on the front it was necessary to add some print.
as with her older sisters quilt that I made a couple years ago I added an old quilt block that my mother (her great grandmother) made.
This one sort of popped with the print backing fabric. I am worried a bit that it is not made the best and the solid is the old 36" wide muslin. I washed it before I added it and hope it washes as a whole with the quilt without much difficulty. To secure it down I quilted big stitch just through the backing in aqua around the solid parts.
Added a little saying and a sketch of g. niece.
I hope it all washes well and I can get in the mail soon.
