While I have not been diligent keeping up with this blog. I do want to share the end result of my latest quilt - A Ribbon Runs through it.
After my last post, I did finish the center blocks but put the rest of the sewing on the back burner, so to say, to deal with some family health issues. I did take up my free time with some knitting which I found portable and fun. After the first of the year - I dug out the rest of the quilt and finished up the blocks. I was very surprised and happy that I did a lot of paper piecing on this quilt. That enabled me to have minimum issues with size and in the end none of the points were lost!!
Because the setting triangle has a bias edge, I did stay stitch all those. I enlarged the rose colored inner border slightly as well as the outer teal border. and let it sit while I contemplated how to finish it.
The quilt went together beautifully and was over 100 inches square. Any larger it would not have fit on my long arm quilting frame.
I chose a Feather Swirl Pattern from Anne Bright Designs, loaded up the quilt and took an deep breath!
This next picture was taken just after the last stitches were tied off.
It is now trimmed and ready for the binding.
