In October - I went Treasure Quilting.. what a fun place to DIVE into - haha - like treasure divers!!!
And I came up with a cute Buffalo Plaid 16 patch quilt - that is now FINISHED!!!
I really really really like how this one turned out - and of course, may just have to do some more Treasure Quilting!!!! - I just meandered on it - cuz it was fun!! and GUESS WHAT!!
It was gifted at a Baby Cowboy Baby shower already - GO ME!!!
Oh!! Because the colors of the University of Wyoming are Brown and Gold.... so Brown fit the bill, plus they are decorating in Browns and cowboys - so CHECK out that back!!!!
ITS BUCKING BRONCOS!! haha!!!
Now since you all know me, and know how much I love to bind..... you may remember that my kid made me these really cool binding ladders - so I ACTUALLY made the binding before I quilted it.... I am sure that is what brought the polar vortex this way...
But look how nice it keeps the binding, it doesn't flop all over the place - if I have to step away for a moment I am not tripping over any of the binding - LOVE it!!!
I'm told more are bieng made, as we sold out on the last batch!!

ReplyDeleteHi Alycia, that is a great finish and I love the idea of treasure quilting - really, that could apply to any time that we dive into our stashes :-) Very cool binding ladders - smart kid!

ReplyDeleteThat is the perfect quilt for a cowboy baby! So great that you got to go Treasure Diving and found just what you needed.
ReplyDeleteIt turned out great. Sometimes I good meander quilting is all that a quilt needs. I'm trying to make binding when I finish piecing a top (or least cutting the strips).
