About a year ago Tonya started a bunch of us making string quilts from 1-1/5 inch strips. I made the center fairly quickly. The top was quilted in January...and now in July I finally got the biding sewn on. It was a slow quilt but it is now a Finished Quilt!
I love the backing. It was printed for the Victoria and Albert Museum. I found it in the overrun/seconds section and paid less than $3 a yard for it. And I love it! It was the only fabric I bought for this quilt. The rest was from the string or scrap bins. Amazingly the bins are all still full...
I did have another finish. I made a small quilt for the Alzheimer's Quilt Initiative.
But instead of sending them the quilt I am going to be sending them a check. The electrician that worked on my house after it was hit by lightning saw it the quilt while I was working on it and liked the piece. Well he was by again to fix one more outlet and asked if it was finished. He had gone to the site and read up about AQI and made me an offer for the quilt. How fun is that. Now he would like a bed size and we are talking bartering...maybe those lights I want changed out in kitchen....this could work!
In the meantime I want to finish the green quilt and send that in the AQI....
