Eclipse

• Eclipse is finished, 6' x 7'.
• crumb quilt that has been waiting for 5 years to be quilted!
• four different backings from the stash
• binding is a Micky Mouse cotton duvet cover 
• seven motifs hand appliqued, all from one fabric (useful!). Two of them were to cover poor seams, I had to add more to balance the design out. 
• wavy line quilted to stablise all those seams  with 0.33 miles of scrap threads in cotton and polyester. 
• batting is a 1/16" loft Hobbs polyester, bought in a sale

Hours of peaceful binding in the garden

Oh Scrap!

On a roll this week.

This single flimsy has been on the shelf for about four years: one day I raided the strip bins for 3 1/2" blue strips, then did nothing with it.  My son saw it and said I would be just right for his friend who has been in and out of hospital for a few months. 

Quickly layered and 'puzzle' quilted in an afternoon.

 

 Today I sewed the binding.

• blue strips from the 3 1/2" strip bin
• quilted with dark mauve embroidery sheen rayon on the front, rust on the back
• moo and mushroom backing from deep stash
