The Strippy Heart Quilt is now all pieced and it's rather large. Took both of my men standing on the lounge chairs to hold this one up. Not boding well for the quilting wrangle!! But, let's forget that for a minute - isn't it pretty?
Remember that little pile of 2.5" strips I started with and wondered if it'd be enough? Well, I had plenty for the low volume with a little to spare, but was about 60" short on the coloured prints. Not too bad and not a problem given my healthy B&C stash to supplement from ;-)
I could photograph this quilt top from many angles and still not get it's best vantage - think that's just down to its size. Although, it's big, it's not the biggest I've ever made but at 76.5" x 84.5" it's still going to be a doozie to squish through the machine.
I got the top all basted and only then discovered that the backing I thought would fit, doesn't. So need to sort that before I tackle the quilting - gives me time to get my brave pants on!!
I might just love this one a wee bit! (But I say that about them all, don't I?)
This is fabulous. I love this design and the colours. One of the things I really like is that it looks easy to put together, no matching up of points!
