Quilt #2

Dec 26, 12:00 PM

I finished this log cabin quilt December 22nd at 10:30 PM. It was out of the laundry at 11:30, photographed, folded and wrapped by midnight.

I do not like doing binding on a lap quilt in two days. My fingertip was really unhappy with me. However, I liked the result and Kesha liked the gift.

I’ve stolen Joanne’s idea of embroidering my hand on the back with pertinent information stitched on the inside of said hand. However, I have been mulling this over and feel kind of bad (just a smidge) for my theft and have been devoting a bit of brain power toward developing an alternative way to leave my “mark” on future quilts.

Ideas?

(An unfortunate side-effect of making a quilt gift for someone who then opens it in front of other people is that now the other people want one too.)

  1. Wow! That’s gorgeous, Donnell!
    As for personalizing quilts: how about outlining a tree – or an apple – or something else that you like or that would relate back to you? Alternatively, you could always do a simple applique that represents you or your life – for example, an outline of Texas or a D. Whatever you do, it appears you’re turning into quite a quilter. Congratulations!

  2. Thank you. I like the “D”. I may go with that. I’m going to try a few things out on some scrape fabric and see what happens.
