it looked straight on the wall...but when i tried to crop it ...quite evidently crooked..this is one of the quitls i have finished this week....last nite...and now i have to rebind it....the inny corners are a little lumpy...and when i was binding another one i remembered the last one i did like this was only one layer of binding not a double binding...so back to the drawing board....but its getting entered SOMEWHERE and soon....so it needs to be perfect in its imperfection:> its all a little wonky by nature and design....thought it fit the ladies and their falling old tin roofed house...the baptist church fan quilting is a tribute to these ladies who were big in their churches...baptist of course
I think i bought my first Kaffe Fassett book 20 years or so ago...knitting...so when he combined his love of color with patchwork..well of course i was hooked...when Glorious Patchwork came out i bet i made dozen of his diamond quilts with my best friend who made another dozen or so herself...we made them in every concievable color way...red pink brown green floral christmas a blue and yellow one...you name it we made it...
so of course i had to make another one when i went to Intown home of all Kaffe last summer with my friend Judy Lockhart....pink and lime green...yummmm and i finally quilted it on the long arm last week...or was it two weeks ago...it was the one I was quilting when i cut my toe....and here it is all finished bound with a sleeve....waiting to go be washed and fluffed so the quilting will show better...of course i quilted it to death...you can only see it if you are looking at it closely...but who cares I know its covered with roses and leaves and dragon flies oh and ribbons...much fun to quilt this huge thing...its about 84x 84"
detail of the quilting-of course you can see the quilting right?!!:>
