The Little Owl quilt is a finish!
Pulling off the cover of big Bernie was the answer,
and I had a wonderful evening stitching up lots of pink.
The quilting ran along the straight horizontal strips,
and finished up with a rough outline of the Little Owls themselves.
Notice how nice and poufy it is?
I used a bit of my remaining high off poly batting
to make it soft and comfy.
The back also used up a majority of the leftover pink flannel strips .
Added to the nobly wide white strips I was gifted,
the flannel strips and minky bits made it a really cozy back.
A few of the leftover strips even made it into the binding!
This little quilt is nothing but pink.
There was one Little Orphan owl who really needed a place to be.
It would have taken me a while to find another project to add him to,
so he found a place on the back.
It will be a nice surprise for the future owner of this quilt,
to flip it over and find yet another owl.
Big Bernie is also performing well after the trip to the shop.
So far the push button needle threader has performed
eight out of 11 successful trips to the needle,! Yay!
An update on the stash too.
This finish moves the numbers!

ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteYour manner of quilting certainly adds fullness to such a special quilt! Love it! Yes, the backing looks cozy and cuddly.
ReplyDeleteIt is very snuggly. It left last night for its new home.
DeleteYeah for the help of Bernie! So glad you were able to get this together: very cute owls.
ReplyDeleteThank you , fun to use big Bernie again!
DeleteSuch cute owls! Agree--so fun to find yet another on the back!
ReplyDeleteThe owl hiding on the back is fun ! Thank you !
DeleteMy Bernie needs to go to the repair shop.....with my complaint that I only used it 3 days at a retreat after the last time in before it went haywire again. I wonder how much the shop would charge me to teach me what to do when it messes up.
ReplyDeleteIt is frustrating to have equipment issues.
DeleteThat is such a cute quilt. Clever of you to add the orphan block to the back. No leftovers!
ReplyDeleteI know! It would have languished in a box.
DeleteWhat a cute quilt and uses those small owl blocks perfectly.
ReplyDeleteThank you ! It is cutie!
DeleteOh how fun is this one!!!
ReplyDeleteThe toddler is going to love those owls!
DeleteThe perfect comfort quilt. So warm and cozy. As fellow Bernina owner with a model that threads the needle, I am amazed how well it works. I do include cleaning the threader every time I do the regular maintenance to dust and oil the machine. Also run the maintenance for the cutter that is inside the machine. So far, so good. Glad yours is back and operational.
ReplyDeleteIt is cute quilt, and I am getting along with my Big Bernina.
DeleteGreat way to use up the last owl, otherwise it would be in danger of being an orphan…..or the start of a whole ‘nother project;-)
ReplyDeleteTrue, this is a perfect home for it!
DeleteYour owl quilt is adorable, and great way to use the very last block! It looks sweet and cozy. Thank you for sharing and linking up your finished quilt!
ReplyDeleteThank you ! It did turn out well!
DeleteThe owl quilt is a stunner! It’s a lotta pink, but I love it.
ReplyDeleteI is a lot of pink!! It used up almost all the flannel pink strip so, yay! Thank you, it turned out very well!
DeleteThis quilt is adorable. I love the owls and incorporating the lone one on the backing. Great job. Thanks for sharing with us at Monday Musings.
ReplyDeleteYou are very welcome. It is definitely a cute little quilt!
DeleteVery cute! Adding that last owl to the back just adds to the cuteness. Happy stitching this week.
