April WOOFA

 I quilted my Trail Mix quilt this month:

Can you see the join in the back?

This piece was a long skinny bit of fabric I had left over after using it for the backing of two other quilts. I found instructions on piecing a quilt back with a diagonal seam here and here, which gave me a piece just big enough for this one.

Trail Mix was my selected project to Work On Or Finish (WOOF) for April.

As you might be able to see, I have machined on the binding, which I assembled from various bits of left-overs of binding from other quilts:


But I haven't begun to hand-stitch it down on the back. The events I mentioned in my last post have meant that for the last six days family issues have consumed all my time. Finishing it won't take me long once I get some stitching time.

  3. I love your Trail Mix! It's beautiful. Stitching the binding will hopefully be relaxing. Something that my therapist has taught me to do is a mindful breathing meditation. It works for me.

  4. Such a brilliant quilt. The back seam is very well hidden, a great technique.

  10. It's an interesting blanket. Different residues of the substances are used. I'm thinking of your father, I hope he's not in pain.
