This quilt is all about strips, different width, mostly pink, grey, light blue and some red, bike fabric and dachshund fabric, all from my stash.
It took me a couple of days to machine quilt this big one. I wrote about making the top
here . I didn't think it was that long ago I started this quilttop...so glad I finally decided to finish it!
The binding, 9 meters(!) was cut on the diagonal because the stripes give a nice effect like this.
The quilt is washed and dried and I'm going to try to sleep under it tonight!!
The pattern is from
this book . I like the
weblog of Amanda Jean Nyberg (one of the writers) very much.
Some photo's are taken in the sun , like this one. The one on my bed, of course,ia taken inside the house and looks a bit less bright but the colours are looking real.
And one of our real dachshunds, Lizzy, went with us yesterday,
geocaching in the forest at Soestduinen (located in my country,The Netherlands).
The sand was blown away under the roots of this tree, which made this strange tree stand on 'legs'. Just when I was about to make this picture, Lizzy walked into the 'frame'. Funny isn't it?
Facts about the quilt:
size: 2.35m by 2.15m
fabrics, backing and batting all 100% cotton
sewn and quilted by domestic sewing machine (my Pfaff 4.0 quiltexpression)
Have a great week!
