The quilt is now complete, except for the minor detail that I put the hanging sleeve on the bottom :( So I guess I'll be unsewing that and trying again tonight. I debated how to finish this one. It is a wall hanging, and the foundation for the stained glass adds a bit of weight to it, so I decided it really did not need the added bulk of batting in there. I finished the back with a simple muslin to hide the myriad of stitching from the bias, and then bound it with the same fabric as the outer border.Once again I have to thank Judy for her UFO challenge. I don't know when I would have pulled this one out, if not for that encouragement.
This is absoultly BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you choose this UFO to do and I am really glad you shared the progress!! (and leave the sleeve on the bottom in - don't remove it - just put the other one on - then you have a choice of how to hang it - the 'right way' or the 'way to see if anyone notices it's upside down!!!'
Beautiful!! Very, very nice!!!
Wowza! That's amazing.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! It's a great wallhanging!
ReplyDeleteStunning! Sorry to hear he's directionally challenged at the moment, though!
ReplyDeleteI love stained glass quilting - and this beautiful inspiration will have me probably starting, yet another, project - I have a magnificent stained glass dogwood I want to do. A really beautiful finish for you. JC
ReplyDeleteIt is truly beautiful and will enhance any wall you put it on, upside down or not! Congratulations on your accomplishment--even better that you pulled it out thinking it would not get finished.
ReplyDeleteI told you this before but I adore this quilt. Yours looks just like the pattern too so you picked great fabrics. This will be very impressive on your wall!
ReplyDeleteNeat neat dragon! Congrats on your finish! UFO Challenge has been so helpful to me too.
