Scrap Buster is finished! That is, the piecing is done. I just finished putting the prairie points on. Now I need to sandwich her all together, roll her up and let her await her place in the quilting line up. You don't see the pinwheels here because they are behind the pillows (just in case your wondering if I removed them). I am off to cook dinner now and then I plan to settle into a nice relaxing evening of blog hopping.
Let the Basting Begin!

I am using my dining room table to baste this big one -- it's about 105 x
105 inches (king size).
It's been a while since I've finished one this big.

Dear Zoey
ReplyDeleteHi! I'm Miya again, What a lovely color! This is really
beautiful. And so fast.
I wish I were as fast as you are. Do you always make such a
large quilt at the same time?
By the way It's good to know some
words I didn't know like 'need to sandwich ' because my English is
still not good, and eager to learn.
So sometimes you may confuse by my
English making a lot of mistakes.
Thank you for your lovely photo.
Miya
Thank you, Miya. I have no problem understanding your English. Yes, I always make quilts that fit a king bed. I guess I am just a selfish quilter as I only make them for myself and I have a big bed. I do seem to be making them pretty fast -- that is because I am inspired lately. Maybe because I have this blog now and need to have something to blog about! So nice to have you visit -- do drop by again.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, Miya, "sandwich" is just a term that means to put the backing, the batting, and the quilt top together. The quilt batting is between the two outer pieces--like a sandwich.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Brit. I feel honored to have shown an accomplished quilter like you something new! I am not too enthused over wall hangings either. Although I have seen a few that were framed and did look beautiful on the wall. I have made 3 that I framed, but I still have not put them on the wall. I can't really call them quilts as there is no batting and no quilting--just a small pieced top.
