I am slowly finishing quilts. Whirly Jig, which is aka Backyard 1, was made from a bundle of fat quarters, Ruby Star Society Backyard by Sarah Watts. Backyard 2 is finished and is here. Backyard 3 needs to be quilted.
I remember seeing a quilt with a design similar to this a few years ago so I drafted a pattern. Unlike the quilt I remember, I sorted my fabric into four colors and put the whirly jig center in the center of the quilt. The quilt I remember had the center near one corner.
I quilted this 62" square, donation quilt with meandering, using Glide #17543 light gray thread on top and #10430 battleship on the back.
The backing and binding is made with is a rose colored fabric.
Some of the things keeping me busy are:
- a graduation quilt that isn't done (no photos 'til it's gifted)
- a Colour Value Mystery QAL hosted by Joanne Keaton. I have my pieces cut and am caught up on the clues!
- healing my finger after an accident with a rotary cutter. I'm not sure exactly what happened but it wasn't pretty. Healing is going very well so all is good.
- a quilt retreat with friends. It was a great, relaxing time with a little quilting.
Whirly Jig is a lovely quilt, whoever receives is is going to be so happy!
