hi everyone! last night while watching Vikings I finished the binding on my mom's quilt. last year she told me she wanted to learn how to quilt. Yeah!!! she told me the colors she wanted. And I thought some Kansas troubles fabric would be perfect for her. And in my stash I had quite a bit! LOL....
Anyway, we did buy a couple of fabrics to add to the quilt. We did buy the backing. I hardly ever have yardage for backings. I did have a friend quilt it for me. so all was good.
I did make her take out some stitching from time to time. She just didn't see the reasoning for an accurate 1/4" seam! LOL..... I was going to have her bind it. But Dad had some surgery last week and she has a lot on her plate, so a binding did I do!
The pattern is from a magazine and is a modified wedding ring. I love it and might make one for me. it's was very simple. She is very proud of herself and should be. Dad did a lot of cutting. I can't say I made it myself. it was a joint effort. But I do feel comfortable claiming as a UFO finished. It was started last march I believe! Go Mom!!!
thanks for looking, PS I think this is #27! wow!!!
