Linking up as my second entry in the Bloggers Quilt Festival, Fall 2018 Edition, hosted by Amy Ellis. Thanks Amy for your time and effort in providing bloggers a way to meet other bloggers and show off a finish or two each year!
This little finish measures 32 inches square, and was hand quilted over the past month. A closer view of the quilting and that buttery yellow border, which made me love this quilt again after not being very thrilled with my choice of the pink and white diagonal units.
A few years ago I found several feedsacks at an estate sale that have been sitting in a drawer ever since. I've decided to make use of them as backings for small quilts. This is the first one to be included as a backing.
This was a developing mash feedsack from the Triangle company, and about as soft and easy to quilt as any fabric I've found. Here's a closer look at the faded emblem on the sack.
Thanks for visiting my little blog, and I hope you'll use the link near the top of this post to see the other quilts being featured in the Bloggers Quilt Festival!
It looks so nice. Great finish.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful little quilt. :)
ReplyDeleteI think your quilting is exquisite!

ReplyDeletePretty little quilt. Hand quilting does take time.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty, I love the yellow border, too. Hand quilting makes it so special!
ReplyDeleteWonderful....love your backing detail and beautiful hand quilting.
ReplyDeleteThe quilting shows up beautifully on the back.
ReplyDeleteNice quilt and quilting! Interesting backing, too.
ReplyDeleteCongratulation on your beautiful finish. It reminded me that I want to make one for myself. I love Lori's quilt-along but missed that one. Your rendition is beautiful. ;^)
ReplyDeleteYour finish is so sweet. The soft yellow border just mellows all the colors. Lovely hand quilting too. Using the feed sacks for backings is a brilliant idea. You might as well use them in one of your awesome small quilts.
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful. I really like the fabric you chose for the border. How fun that you used a feedsack for the back. You said it was easy to quilt through. Is the fabric finely woven or somewhat coarse? I have feedsacks/sugar/flour bags that we brought back from El Salvador several decades ago. They are somewhat loosely woven but so soft. I think the feedsack you used must be more finely woven.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful finish! I love the feedsack backing and your hand quilting is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt, I love your quilting!
ReplyDeleteGreat use of your feedsack fabrics! Wonderful finish. The hand quilting is so pretty.:)
ReplyDeleteThis is such a cute quilt
ReplyDeleteI like how you are using feedsacks that you have for the backings. It's great to use up unique fabrics that we have collected. Such a cute quilt!
ReplyDeleteYour Sunny Lanes mini-quilt is so pretty. And the feedsack provides a nice surprise on the back.
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful finish and I love the detail and the texture that your hand quilting gives the quilt.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Love the quilting!
