My sunflower wall quilt is done!!!
I am calling this quilt "Good-day Sunlight"
"Good-day sunlight
I'd like to say how truly bright you are ..."
I'd like to say how truly bright you are ..."
While I was quilting it, the song "Who Needs Shelter" " by Jason Mraz kept popping up while my playlist was set on shuffle. Quilts give me shelter. "Nuff said.
When I figured out that the reason I was having trouble choosing a binding because the quilt top was not quite finished, it all fell in place.
Sew ... I added an extra narrow outer border in yellow ...
Then it was easy to see that the binding for my quilt should be brown ...
Because I went to the edge of the quilt, I had to "stuff" a little extra batting to fill my binding. As usual, I had a lot of help.
This time my daughter's kitten got into the act when she dropped Pepper off for a "playday" with Katniss.
Katniss took it upon herself to show Pepper all she needs to know to be a quilty cat.
And Pepper took right to it ...
I added a label! This may not seem like much of a quilty accomplishment, but I have only added labels to quilts when "I had to" because someone else asked me to do so. I finally figured out my "Signature Label"
I just made a bunch of signature blocks for a swap on the Q&N and a light bulb lit up in a dark quilty corner of my mind.
Make a simple siggy block for each quilt with fabrics from the top.
Add pieces of the selvages to identify the fabric ...
Name it ... sign it ... sew it!
I will be "signing" all my quilts this way now.
Easy peasy :)
