My Scalloped Edge Quilt...

We had a swap for 30's blocks on the hgtv message boards a few years ago. I made enough blocks to swap to get 3 quilts. :-) Yes, I love 30's fabrics! :-) This one I assembled and sent to my Mom to have her group handquilt for me~ I did this approx 2 years ago. :-o When I got it back, I loved the quilting, but was paralyzed by fear that I'd mess up the scalloped binding. So I procrastinated, and procrastinated some more... sigh. After finishing the big quilt in my other post, I decided the time was now! So I cut yards and yards of bias binding~ I wasn't following any pattern so I just guessed at how much to cut. I way over-guessed! ;-) Usually I don't cut enough binding, this time I have almost 2 yards left! :-o (Guess I can make a mini quilt~the binding is ready! LOL) After a week of hand-stitching down binding, I put the last stitches in last night. Yay! So today it went for it's soak in the bathtub, rinse in the washing machine, and a little fluffing in the dryer at the lowest settings. I think it came out great! Whoohoo! Now I can actually change quilts on my bed! ;-) Oh~ you may have noticed, I like green too. ;-)









I've been kind of headache/shoulder & neck aching the last couple of days, so I haven't been feeling like working on string blocks... hopefully I'll get back on track soon!

Hopefully the photo's will enlarge if you click on them... sometimes it works, and sometimes not. I don't know why!


Thank you for stopping by and for all your comments on my other quilts! I've shared your comments with my Mom too. ;-)


Until next time~



Happy Stitchin'!
