Finish Friday - Centred QAL

If you didn't sew along with Sandra @ Musings of a Menopausal Melon for her Centred QAL, you missed out on a great pattern.  The blocks are quick and easy to piece.

I love the Island Batik fabrics I used.  Sandra made a multi-coloured version, and I'm looking forward to making one as well, perhaps with some orange.  😉


I thought about straight-line quilting but didn't want the added work of marking lines.  So a wavy line with a loop gave me the appearance of lines, but I didn't have to be precise.  As I do with all my quilts, I used Hobbs Heirloom Premium 80/20 batting.


A new practice is to quilt my name somewhere near the bottom of the quilt.  I attempted 2020.  Not bad for not having a plan or practicing in advance.


Time to print off a colouring page to figure out what colours to use for my next version.

  5. I really like the quilting, especially the way you quilted in your name and the year. Your color choices give the quilt a 3 dimensional quality.

  10. YAY!! Here's me jumping up and down to see your quilt all done! Thank you for the kind words on my pattern, and thank you so much for sewing along with me again. Cannot wait to see the multi-colour version. PS Orange works really well for the centre floating block! Wish we'd talked ahead of quilting, because I didn't mark any lines, just 1" little ticks at the edges, and then used the piecing lines as my guide! I hate marking, so always look for ways around it, ha. And yes! On adding to your quilting repertoire with 2020 now.
