A good day's work!

I got started early.  If you read my last post you will recall that I managed to quilt both these quilts yesterday.  You can't really see the quilting on this one but I did a series of lines down from top to bottom.  I reckon this will look great on a single bed but I don't have a suitable room to try it out on - and by suitable I mean one that doesn't have teenager mess written all over it!  Yuck!
 I think this quilt is just gorgeous - but I really like bright pretty colours!  if you look closely you can see the gorgeous stripey fabric binding.  Both bindings still need to be sewn down but thankfully I don't need to do that.  I think this is a safe choice for a teenage girl.  Just hope she is not a tomboy or a goth!
 The boy's quilt is backed with more of the yellow and black check.  This is the backing for the girls.  I think it is lovely and given that Andrea already had it and we didn't have to buy it I think that makes it PERFECT!
 Irene made pillowcases to match both too.  
I am looking forward to them being completed so I can pack them up and send them on their way!

Till next time............happy stitching!

  4. Both quilts are fantastic, perfect for a boy and a girl. Matching pillowcases are the way to go, kids don't like shams.
