Hi everyone,
I actually did some quilting this week.
I know!!! Pretty unbelievable with my recent track record.
Anyways, my inlaws asked me if I could make a quilt to donate to their dart league.
They wanted to use it as a prize in a fundraiser.
I decided to use string blocks that I made in 2011.
These were put together to make the main body of the quilt.
Then I designed some appliqued blocks for a top border with a darts theme.
This was done using fusible web applique.
I did some really simple line quilting in the string blocks, then some meandering free motion quilting in the top of the quilt. I also did some free motion quilting in the borders.
This wasn't my most successful quilt. My border is a bit wonky.
Oh well, this is the first quilt I've completed in almost 3 years.
So, I'd say I did okay.
I really had a good time working on it.
I think I might get back into making some quilts.
This quilt finished at 48 inches X 69 inches.
It was all done using fabric from my stash.
I hope you like it!!
Hugs

That's a fantastic quilt! Quilters are their own worst critics. Wonky. Schmonky. It's going to be a smash hit!
Whatever gets you back to quilting is a good thing! Congratulations on a great finish.....
Three cheers for completing a quilt! Remember too, you're probably the ONLY person who can see any flaws (real or imagined) in this quilt. I'm sure the winners will love it.
It looks amazing! You are very talented!
