One Monthly Goal Finish for January
My monthly goal for January was to finish hand quilting one more row of fan on Everyday Patchwork.
This is the end of that row. (I quilt fans from right to left.) I think I calculated/estimated how many more rows I have to quilt but I can't remember. I just know I need to pick up the speed or the amount of time quilting so I can finish this quilt sooner than later!

Your quilting is always so lovely. This will be a nice soft finish for maybe next year? Just curious, do you wash your quits as soon as they are finished to plump up the batting, etc?
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lizzy. I think the camera makes my quilting look better than it is.
DeleteAfter I bind a quilt I always toss it in the washer and then dry it. I love the effects of the shrinkage that happens. I think it makes a quilt softer and more cuddly. For the first time ever I used Hobbs Heirloom cotton/poly for this quilt and I'm not yet sold on it. It seems thin, which makes for easy quilting, but I'll wait till it comes out of the dryer to see what I really think of the batting. Do you wash your quilts when you finish them?
Yay! More progress. :)
ReplyDeleteLOL. Yes! Even a little stitching on this quilt feels like good progress, Anne-Marie. I have no idea why I'm not rushing to quilt it every day.
DeleteLovely progress. This is going to look so great when you're done. It has a lot of personality.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Robin. I think Cheri Payne patterns always have lots of personality, don't you? This was a fun one to make. I just need to dig in and get it quilted asap so I can move on to another quilt. Finishing two quilts in a year would be amazing for me!
