Things have been busy around here...for a while I was calling our home "The House of Yuck". Even one of the pups was sick. Thankfully, with the exception of a tendonitis issue, it's all behind us and today I can share a quick post about a finish - Cotton Club is done! All that is left is a run through the washing machine. Not a great shot below but I only had one quilt handler available and I really needed two. Photos have been delayed due to rain and I didn't want to put it off any longer.
Here is a little closer photo of the quilting. It was quilted by the same longarmer that does all the quilting for Bonnie Blue/Red Crinoline Quilts (Paula Barnes). They did a nice job. I love the way the braid looks with the triangles. You probably can't see it here but each block has a different quilting pattern quilted on it. The border had big feathers quilted on it.
I enjoyed every second of making this quilt. I learned a lot while making it and it required a lot of precision from me. It's also the first time I've ever sewn a mitered border.
It feels good to finish something and especially good that the finish is this quilt. Other than this quilt I've been in a bit of a slump with the needle Hoping to find a cure for that soon! Wishing you all happy stitches!
