This is the first cot quilt I made from the primary coloured fat quarter stack I purchased at a destash sale. I am pleased I didn't add a border, there is enough fun colour happening in this quilt and its still a good size. I quilted it myself on my domestic Bernina. Straight lines are my standard go to quilting, especially for kids quilts where the fun fabrics need to shine.
Machine quilting does take a toll on my right shoulder, but this wasn't too bad. I have purchased a new (but ridiculously expensive latex) pillow, but it has helped enormously reduce pain in my shoulder, so go figure clearly it was the way I was sleeping?! This quilt has been posted to new bub - first grandchild of good friends.
I have actually delivered these two green chevron bordered quilts to their owners, as we were visiting their home town recently. But sadly in my rush (it was a mad week with both hubby and I away for work, so juggling kids was priority) I forgot to take finished photos. These two pictured waiting for binding stitched down were delivered to my husbands cousins new babies....well one is nine months and the other two months old!
BUT I do have photos of tops when completed, so that will have to be substitute.
Happy quilting Sue.
