Sharing my latest finished project

19 years ago

This is the drag around throw I made for my GS. It started by my wanting to make a trial of a BOM. Then I just began looking for 121/2 blocks.

My photography leaves a lot to be desired but I hope to work on that.

I just made 12 blocks and put them together with 2" strips. I birthed it with fleece on the back and no batting because I didn't want it too heavy. I stitched it on the machine. I just sewed a little label to remind him who made it and when.

I didn't get the back picture. I'll send this so I don't loose it.

Here's the back.

I see you can't read it-like I said my photo skills are not good.

Very nice, Sally! I'm sure it will be nice and snuggly for your GS. You did a great job on the piecing!

It's very pretty. Just the right colors for a boy, and I'm sure he'll love having the different blocks.

Maybe you can see the label on this one.

Still can't read it.

Sally, I really like that quilt. The 2 fabrics plus white makes each block so interesting! I especially like the red sashing one direction/blue sashing the other--very clever.

Sally,
I love your quilt. The fabrics add a twist to otherwise very traditional blocks. Looks like a very comfy drag-along your GS will love for years to come.

What a nice quilt for a DGS to love, and cuddle with! As for the photography, I always blame it on the camera. Nice job on the quilt!

Sally, Very nice quilt! I think your GS will love it! I love the way fleece feels on the back of quilts and use it on almost all of the ones I make.

I love your quilt, Sally! Samplers are so fun just because you don't have to be repetative. Love the fabrics too!

I've never used fleece on the back - I bet it's so huggable! Lovely quilt.

Thanks to all for your comments.

This is the 3rd time I've used fleece on the back. Kinda feel like I'm cheating but it is so easy and they
were all throws. In the south we don't need very heavy
quilts even in the dead of winter. :)
