Today's UFO quilt top finish is a quilt made with the scraps of the quilt in my previous post.
Finishing at 48 x 48 makes her a great size for a baby quilt or spring table topper.
The backing was pieced from the remaining quilt top scraps and the backing fabric I used on the other quilt mentioned above.
The pattern for this quilt came from a magazine, but the chances of still having that issue are slim since I’ve given away about half of my magazine stash. So, I just went with the first name that popped into my head and put it on a label.
A few days after making the label and sewing it to the backing I stumbled upon the image below on Pinterest. This is the second or third time this happened recently, it's kind of weird and spooks me. Is the web paying attention or the powers that be? (insert Twilight Zone music) Anyway...Much to my surprise there was a link attached to the image. The link went to a stand-alone pattern and in the description for the quilt was the when and where it had been published originally. I'm pretty sure I gave that magazine to my aunt a few years ago who had just started quilting.
The name? Little Blossoms...so much cuter than Posies and Pinwheels, but by then it was too late. The label had already been made and sewn to the backing. I also realized I’d left out some appliqué, and knowing myself, it was probably to make the quilting easier.
Another very pretty finish. Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteVery cute! You're not the only one getting Pinterest feeds corresponding to what you're working on. I'm getting a lot of Diabolical Jane images, one top done, second in the design phase so I'm taking lots of photos. Also lots of X and Plus images because I just taught a class and had photos of block step-outs. Big Brother is watching!
