I looked at my 2015 wish list and WIP/UFO list a few weeks ago ....and panicked! Then I found time and inspiration I needed to get these little quilts finished. DH found the dowel required to hang them.
Only problem was we had to hang them on a new wall....the original wall of mini quilts is full! This is next to my front door - the original owners had speakers hard wired into this room, which shouldn't be a problem, except when your trying to hang quilts!
But I still had one outstanding WIP. The bears paw wall hanging. Well its suppose to be a table topper. I quilted it simply with a diagonal cross hatching. Its got the hanger corners on, but no label yet.
I washed it to get rid of the marking pencil. I am relatively new to using cotton wadding. I forgot that it makes for crinkly quilts AND I draped it over a drying rack, which made the centre puff up?!! I like this quilt. Cannot say I love it. But looking at it daily might change that, lets hope!
Hanging little quilts is interesting when they are very different sizes! Think I will have to make some more to match my Temecula We wish you a Merry Christmas, otherwise it looks a bit funny by itself. Any excuse to make more mini quilts!
Happy 2016 and happy quilting, Sue.
Looks very fun, Sue. I agree--any excuse to make a mini quilt! *LOL*
ReplyDeleteAt least a mini quilt is quicker, I think, maybe I should make a list for 2016???
ReplyDeleteWhat a great display and a wonderful way to add color to your room.
ReplyDeleteWishing you a happy new year of many mini quilts! They can be a bit tricky to hang together but your display looks great
