It's a great project for scraps, but that didn't stop me from cutting little bits off of large pieces of material. What can I say, my scrap collection is small at this point. :) It came together so quick!
I decided to do a scrappy binding and love how it looks. I also tried my hand at ditch quilting, and was surprised at how tricky it was. I mean, come one, how hard is it too sew a straight line? Apparently pretty difficult. :)
I'm still playing around with different branches. I can't find one I'm thrilled about. The pattern also suggests using a large knitting needle to hang it, but I couldn't bring myself to spend the money on one, even with a 50% off coupon.
This is really pretty. It would be totally beyond my skill level to make anything so gorgeous.

What a beautiful wallhanging and you are right....stitching in the ditch is actually harder than free-motion quilting as far as I am concerned! Great job!
ReplyDeleteI love the branch and your quilt is adorable too! Awesome job, congratulations.
ReplyDeleteThanks ladies for the compliments! It was a fun project to work on, and it went much too quickly. :) @Rosie - I visited your site last week to link up, but couldn't find an "open" link party. Let me know if there's another one!
