I’m nearly done finishing the edges of the Boston quilt. I decided to face it instead of binding it after all. I have the 2 long sides done. Still have to face the top and bottom. The right side was really difficult due to all the fusible along the edge, but I got it done. The second photo shows the facing on the back of the quilt. Of course I still have 2 sleeves and a label to sew on the back before I’m really done.
Now that I’m almost done with the Boston quilt I’m beginning to think about what comes next. I have to quilt my Halloween quilt. I also have a secret project that I have to work on. That will actually be what I have to work on next. There’s a deadline for that secret project.
After the secret project and the Halloween quilt are done I’m thinking about doing an ancient stone structure. I’m thinking about photos we took of Innisfallen Abbey when we were in Ireland. Plenty of time to debate about it.
Oh Chris, your Boston piece is magical and magnificent. The colors, angles, light, the level of detail you're able to achieve in fabric are just incredible. I am looking forward to seeing how quilting will elevate your Halloween project and how you might evoke the Innisfallen Abbey in fabric in a future project.
ReplyDeleteYou've got a lot lined up to do. No sitting around twiddling your thumbs. Hopefully the Hallowe'en quilt won't be as physically demanding to quilt as the Boston one. Laceflower
ReplyDeleteI remember your Halloween quilt. Fabulous! Those Jack o' Lanterns reallly glow.
