So...I made and finished this quilt quite awhile ago for a friend. I couldn't take pictures of the process because it was a surprise. But then...the quilt didn't turn out how I would have liked.
Aleana took these pictures and I love how she made the quilt look so beautiful.
And parts of it really are. I love the quilting. The squiggles are so cute!!!
However, it was my first time using minky on such a big project and
I should have done extra basting but only did spray basting (my go-to
basting method) and then it was so bunchy in sections that I could have
cried. But crying a quilt does not make. Aleana really liked it flaws and all
so it is now a part of her hope chest. So nice when a quilt is loved by someone!!
This pictures makes me want to sit by a mountain lake in the Rockies.
Normally I am not drawn to these colors but my friend loves them.
It was good to work outside my comfort zone because I really was enjoying
the muted browns and blues by the end of the process.
PS: I did end up making another quilt for my friend using the same strips
but a different pattern, different quilting and no minky!!! I did take pictures of that
quilt too before I sent it off to it's new home but I can't remember if I blogged
about it. Maybe someone can remember?
Have a great day in God's hands.
