Hi! I've finished up a couple of 'easy' quilts over the weekend. First up is the blue and red baby quilt. I got lots of responses last time I posted about it that red was great for a baby. So here it is all done up.
Finished size is 30" x 36". The lady bug fabric has been in my stash for at least 10 years. It never seems to get completely used up. The red I picked up at a thrift store. Unknown age, but the width was smaller than our 44/42" average now, so definitely 'vintage'. Pretty sure it is cotton, though.
Simple quilting. I did the binding by machine; Hand sewing the mitered corners first, then machine the rest.
I also finished up Ugly Quilt #1
It's spectacular! I used a thin polyester batting in it that I had picked up a whole roll of at Joann's Thanksgiving sale. It is the perfect weight. The quilt really fought being squared up. I finally gave up because I didn't want to keep cutting it smaller. It really doesn't matter. This one is destined for the beach & car.
I used a thrift store sheet to back it. The binding is also scrappy. I save my 2" strips separately, so I just randomly sewed a bunch together for the binding. This binding is also completely machine finished. Finished size: 53" x 95".
