This first Irish chain for the Stash Buster Challenge is complete!
It fits in with the RSC color for the month and
has every thing but a label!
The large zig zag quilting was fun to do
and provided good coverage without too
many turns or dead ends.
Looking for a suitable binding lead me down a different road.
This quilt ended up with a binding accented by small blocks of
the feature color. It started off with a 60" strips of scrap
patchwork from the orange drawer.
The grey really complimented the orange top so and idea was born!
The strip wasn't long enough so out came the grey bin and
more length was cobbled up.
The bulk in the seams weren't too difficult to stitch up,
you must stay in charge and not allow the bulk to push
the needle off course.
It turned out very well!
Here is the finished quilt!
Have a great week!
Stay safe and sew on !
I would never think of that. Great idea.
ReplyDeleteThank you! Glad you are enjoying the blog!
DeleteLovely orange quilt. Especially love the binding and your instructions to "stay in charge and not allow the needle to push off course". you make it sound so simple, but it's really a major accomplishment.
ReplyDeleteIt is! Bulky seams sometime ~seam~ to want to take over! We must stay in control!
