Flag Day Farm quilt is flapping in the wind. Finished it. You don't have to oooooh & ahhh, remember it's a cheater cloth panel. Love the red.
Tried two new methods: free motion machine quilting & machine binding.
It has a cool quilt stitch design marked on the panel. For a whole two minutes, I tried to follow the design with my sewing maching. Not happening. Scary results. So I saw they had a nifty diamond straight line pattern that I could follow. That was doable for me.
It would have been gorgeous with the other quilting, but the quilt is going outside, I'm not hand quilting it.
Machine binding -- another first. Here's a tip, make sure the binding is wide enough. :-) 
Maybe I like it better on the rocker.
Makes me think of a hot summer day. Wish it weren't raining.
Oh, the sun will come out, tomorrow.....
soooo cute!!! I am just finishing up a quilt with the Denyse Schmidt cheater cloth....I love yours!
ReplyDeleteOooh aaah - it's really nice! I'm so glad I bought some of that from you! The quilting sounds a bit scary, but I have always wanted to give hand quilting a go, so maybe I will do that. :-)
ReplyDeleteGreat quilt! Love your house. The quilt compliments it so well. And you don't have to worry about someone, um. walking away with a hand quilted beauty :-)
ReplyDeleteIt's really beautiful! I like it on the chair too :)
ReplyDeleteOH, i love it hanging up!!! looks striking from afar and your house is AFAR from me. :(
ReplyDeletei think i'll be needing some of that when i visit. it might look good on my new aqua chair!!
This looks so beautiful out on your porch, hanging or on the chair. Cheater cloth or not it is so striking in that red and white. MMMMMMM!
ReplyDeleteKudos to you for going out of your comfort zone! I think the quilt looks great! Do you take them in at night or in bad weather? Do you always have a quilt hanging on the porch? I think our homeowners would fine me if I hung a quilt out! Went to Disney yesterday with Logan. I thought of you guys. I hope you come down again soon!
ReplyDeleteI've never used a cheater panel before, but this one I love. Thanks for the inspiration! Looks great on your porch.

ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea for an outside quilt! I was just thinking I need a new one for my swing. I might do something like this. Yours is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI just posted asking anyone if they know how to machine bind. Do you have any other tips on how to do it. Hard to believe it's a cheater panel. Really a nice quilt!
ReplyDeleteyour quilt is absolutely gorgeous! ;)
