Now I'm really finished. I had some scraps left and his walls seemed so blank. They needed something, and I thought a wall hanging would be the perfect, fast project to work on. I mentioned this project in this post as one of the projects I had stacked up on my sewing table. Yeah! One more done!
I was trying to match the pattern to the quilt I made, as well as make it about crib size/cuddle blanket size. I also matched the quilting; a basic meander thru the cream strips as well as some blue meander in the borders and patchwork blocks.
I pulled from my stash for the backing. The beautiful blue/green fabric is leftover from my SIL's t-shirt quilt I made last fall. I also used it to make my Dad's birthday present, the Cycling Snack Bag. I am so proud of myself for using up my stash. One of my goals being accomplished. I did a quick machine binding and called it good. I realized I don't have any 2015 printed labels yet, so I haven't labeled this one. Need to get some of those printed out.
So happy with this quick little finish, and my son is too. So glad he's so appreciative; he warms my heart. I'm linking up with Crazy Mom Quilts today for Finish Friday. Can't wait to see what I can get done next.
The perfect addition for the pirate room! Boys may not appreciate such finishing touches, but I sure do!
ReplyDeleteHe's such a sweetie; he really does appreciate it all. Thanks so much for stopping by and leaving a note.
DeleteIt's a lovely addition to the room. My daughter too has a 'spare' wall now we have re-arranged her wall maybe some form of wall hanging is what's required!
ReplyDeleteThe wall hanging is nice because I don't worry if it falls on him during rough-housing. I was always afraid to put anything framed up there. Thanks so much for stopping by. I hope I inspired a new project for you.
