Another Finish

With this finish I have achieved all I had wished for prior to Christmas.  Happy Dance.  And, it’s not even at the eleventh hour.

Back at the end of September I pieced a donation quilt using some “Cars” fabric I found in an op shop.   Well, finally I got around to quilting it.  

This time I used a new pantograph call Bauhaus Baby.  I was a bit nervous as to how it would turn out, as there are definite straight lines and I knew that I wouldn’t be able to follow it exactly.  It would be more organic than using a computer driven machine.

The first row looked a bit how’s your uncle, being on the plain border, but as I progressed and it created the all over texture I thought it looked okay.

I really like this quilt and hope that some little boy will too.  It fits into the “minimum effort for maximum effect” category, as the design is so simple.

Here is the backing showing a bit more of the texture.

I had decided to give myself a bit of a break until Christmas, but I just may have started a new project, one that I originally planned to complete between Christmas and New Year, but decided to get a bit of a head start.  I might be a bit excited about it.
