Winnie the Pooh Quilt A Long
Day 16
Here’s my quilt … all quilted …
There are swirls in all of the white (background) areas as well as the sashing and borders. Then on the heads, I used a ruler and quilted ½” lines. The quilting threads matched the fabric – or was a close match.
Here’s a close-up of Eeyore:
And, as I posted this picture, I realize that I need to quilt the white of his eyes. The weird area on the right grey part is just the shadow from taking this picture while the wind was blowing!
Thank you for sewing along on this Quilt Along! If you’ve kept up, you now have a wonderful Winnie the Pooh Quilt top!
Here is a Linky Party for you to show your Winnie the Pooh quilt. You don’t need to have a blog to post a picture. But you do need a link to either an Instagram or Pinterest page. I’d LOVE to see all the quilts that you’ve made!
Design Wall
Piecing:
I made a bunch of “DOVE” bags (simple drawstring bags) and some masks. I’ve changed the pattern that I use for masks … my son’s girlfriend asked if I could replicate a mask she really likes … sew, I used it as a pattern, added a seam allowance and viola! They’re a LOT faster to make and there’s no fiddling with those fussy pleats.
Summer Solstice: I’m back to thinking about working on my Summer Solstice quilt. These are pictures from March and February … sew … I need to sew, not just think about it.
Quilting:
Nothing being quilted right now!
