It’s wonky and far from perfect, but we love it. Annabelle helped make the butterflies.
The top was quilted and tied onto a thrifted factory made quilt, then bound together with the blue binding. Very frugal and very warm.
I no longer having a sewing room, but I have a little area in my bedroom set up for sewing. It was difficult to wrangle this quilt through the machine. I swore the whole time that I was sewing, that this is my last ever quilt. We shall see. 🤣
I didn’t post last week because I really didn’t have a lot to show, even though I had worked on the quilt.
I’ve made a small amount of progress on my Kitty cross stitch. I’m hoping to focus on the kitty this week.
So, so cute!
ReplyDeleteThanks Wendi!
DeleteTHe quilt is lovely, and perfection is highly overrated!
ReplyDeleteYes indeed! Done is better than perfect for me. Thanks!
DeleteAaah I just love this quilt and how clever to reuse a factory made quilt for it's backing. I bet it is warm and comfortable. I have never thought of a hexi butterfly - I love them! Have a wonderful Sunday. Hugs.
ReplyDeleteThis is the second one I have done this way. And they are the warmest quilts I own. It’s so much easier than layering 3 layers.
DeleteThe butterfly quilt is beautiful Penny! I love that you used a thrifted factory made quilt for the backing. That is a great way to save money. I love to look through all the linens when thrifting as there are so many uses for those items.
ReplyDeleteThank you. And these quilts are heavier and warmer. I did another a few years ago that way, and it’s everyone’s favorite. Very thrifty, indeed!
DeleteSo very pretty. You did a lovely job.
ReplyDeleteThank you Cheryl!
DeleteYou've made a beauty with your pretty blue and the butterflies! The backing looks perfect for it.
ReplyDeleteThanks Linda! My granddaughter loves it.
