Good grief two posts in one day.  Whatever has come over me…..vbg.

The Home Circle quilt is quilted - at last.  It seemed to take forever when I started it, but the last few rows went very quickly.  Who knows why that happens.

I used mens shirts from the op shop as much as possible.  The brown coloured block (bottom left) was a fat quarter and there are another couple in there that are also from fat quarters.  The light fabrics are all shirting however.

A close up of some really bad feather quilting.  I hadn’t tried feathers before and found them interesting to say the least.  I think next time I should really practice them in a straight line before I get carried away and try them in circles.  It was fun though doing all those swoopy lines….roflmol.

This is very much a “utility quilt” designed to be serviceable and not for best which is why I experimented with the quilting.  There are two rows of feathers in these blocks, then a row of “naive type” flowers then I just stuck to stipple stitch.  Probably not the way the quilt police would like me to do it but I don’t care.  I hate the idea of spending hours practice quilting.  I would rather practice on a utility quilt and at least get another ufo finished.     Now to do the binding which will probably take me more time than it did to sew the blocks together.
