A lovely Sunday welcome to you, lovely lovelies♡ Though Old Man Sun is doing his darndest to cast happy sunbeams here at my little place, 'tis a wee bit chilly for my liking. =) I do wish Spring would get a hurry on and warm up a bit.
I have another finished quilt to showcase today. After finishing the quilting of Flower Meadow two weeks ago I picked up Into The Woods, a quilt which I began to imagine and fashion this time last year, when the blossom trees were just beginning to unfurl, cascading like waterfalls; and as it had been resting on the 'to quilt' pile for a little too long I decided to quilt it. A whimsical pretty using a vintage children's doona cover, where there are deer, porcupines, hedgehogs, wily foxes, wise old owls, squirrels, singing birds, rabbits and sweet mice resting beneath toadstools. Sweet, sweet creatures who live and sleep, dance and play, engaging in all manner of adventures in the woods. These sweet animals are surrounded by scrappy EPP diamonds in a rainbow of glorious colour and pattern set in large triangles.
Such fun stitching hand quilted stitches skipping up and down the central panel; and so, so quick to do. For the border, straight quilting stitches marching one behind the other all the way around the green and white gingham. The backing is the fabric which was on the back of the doona; and I bound the quilt by making a self binding using the backing fabric.
