Small Steps.
Posted on | July 31, 2025 | 3 Comments
I have been keeping busy, but not necessarily achieving a lot of finishes. Lots of knitting and hand stitching being done, so slow progress there. But for a change of pace I decided to complete a few donation quilt requests. This way I can get some finishes and still keep working on the slow stitching.
I had a small amount left of the surf fabric with cars and surfboards, so decided to use it in a strippie quilt.
I also wanted to share a photo of the orchids that are in bloom.
Here is a closer shot of the quilt.
The fabric strips.
The fabric with spots is part of the same range.
I also found a light backing which seems to work.
The binding is a lovely blue with random white spots.
The next one is also from the same fabric range.
I have really enjoyed the combinations and will be sad to see all this fabric finally used up.
A different backing for this one.
I had some fabric left over from another quilt that was suitable for the binding.
And last of all a request to use these Christmas fabrics in a small lap quilt.
The whole thing.
Lots of red in the backing.
I used the same fabric for the binding.
I will have to do a bit of thinking as to where I can take my next quilt photos. Our pergola is being taken down tomorrow, and that is where I normally hang the quilts. It will be a few weeks before a new one is built, and I am not sure if it will work the same. Not a big problem by world views, so I am sure it will work out.
Enjoy your weekend.
Cheers, Karen
