Rudely constructed, yet I still love it.
It hangs proudly in my walk-in closet, "For Mine Eyes Only".
Until now.
Certainly I was unaware of any rules to this game.
Prior to my rotary cutter, I measured and cut each strip. The binding is folded over from the back.
Quilt Stats:
15" Square Finish
Fabrics: Muslin, Yarn-dyed blue cotton solid, Poly/Cotton Burgundy.
Batting: Yucky Polyester, the fibers are popping through the backing..
Quilting: Hand-quilted with a thin polyester thread. The back looks especially unskilled and I did not know to bury knots.
Thank you Jenn, for encouraging us to expose, record our past and share our quilting journey!
It took many years before I learned about burying threads, too! Those rings are a great hanging solution, by the way. :)
ReplyDeleteOne day I want to learn how to hand quilt, thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteLove your throwback quilt!
ReplyDeleteIt's adorable! It wants to come out of the closet!
ReplyDeleteI love this little quilt! Our beginnings are often very humble. Your hand-quilting is beautiful and I love the woven effect.
ReplyDeleteI don't think it needs to hang in your closet! That's some lovely hand quilting. I still don't know how to bury threads and I've been at this a while. Thank you for linking up with Throwback Thursday @ A Quarter Inch from the Edge!
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful quilt, and you should be proud of it. My first quilt is displayed from time to time - I too made mine back in the day when there were no rules - well none that I knew, and I winged it as I went along. Look at that intricate design and that lovely hand quilting.
ReplyDeleteLovely! No quilt police over here. LOL
ReplyDeleteGiven the surge in interest in minis, I think this one needs to come out of the closet. It has a neat graphic design that makes it much more modern than 1985!
ReplyDeleteThis is a really neat design. I think it could also be cool in a maxi...
ReplyDeleteYou did it really well Heidi! Isn't it fun to see how much you've grown and changed, but then realize that you started off pretty great too?
ReplyDeleteIts just fine! :)
