It's time for the Fall Blogger's Quilt Festival!
If you are a new visitor to my little blog- welcome! I have enjoyed sewing since my childhood days and have recently started a little longarm quilting business. This blog features both- my various sewing projects and my longarm quilting.
Here is my entry, Pieced Scrap Borders from Red Pepper Quilts. (Free Tutorial Here.) I started this quilt about a year ago (posted here and here) and finished it this summer. (posted here) My version has an added border. I just love it! I used up a lot of scraps with this one. The white fabric is from an old bed sheet, and the back was a large piece my sister picked up at a garage sale. The only fabric I actually bought was the binding.
I quilted free-motion feathers on it. If I were to quilt it again I think I would have picked a more contemporary design that would match the pattern better. But I was really digging feathers at the time I guess!
A peek at the back.
Check out all the other quilts featured in the Festival. There are HUNDREDS!
Great quilt - i love the fact that you used so many scraps. One day I dream of making a quilt entirely from little scraps like that...but I think I need to accumulate more scraps for that to happen! =)
