Neutral Quilt

Jun 27, 2012

I promised sewing room photos today, but I'm not going to come through. It's 90% done, but I'm waiting on 1 item that's backordered and need to check out some thrift stores for the other item. I'd rather do it right than rush it. Sorry. :(


I did finish a quilt though, so hopefully that makes up for no sewing room pics.

This quilt started from the neutral scraps from this quilt. After the ugly backing debacle, I started working on this to be the back. These IG pics are from the beginning of March.

And then I loved it too much for it to just be the back. Plus, they just didn't feel right together, you know?

So I finished it up and it sat. I bought a duvet from Ikea for the backing (one solid piece, hurrah!), and still it sat. Then I reorganized my sewing room and I felt guilt about the number of quilt WIPs I had, so I decided to finish it up!

Quilted with organic straight lines. Bound with a zig zag stitch (tutorial on how I do it on Friday!). Labels from Spoonflower. Just a 3" square folded on the diagonal and sewn in with the binding.

  4. Love it, and agree it needed to be a quilt in it's own right. I love organic straight lines. Rulers suck x

  10. You know, usually neutrals aren't my thing, but I love this. Those 3 or 4 little splotches of color just make it so awesome. Lovely quilt.

    Sorry about the backing on your shoo fly quilt (lovely too BTW). I can't imagine even attempting cutting the backing off. Amazing.
