I should be getting ready to move, but I just have to finish these quilts!
This is my friend's chenille quilt that I'm hoping to finish today or tomorrow. I bought a kit from Fons and Porter and I'm not too wild about their fabric selection. Oh well. My friend lives in a true log home, so I'm hoping it fits right in with her decor.
I have to admit, working with chenille is fun. It's like cutting carpet, but it's fun...and very forgiving.
This is a close up of the different directions of the chenille.
The back of this quilt will be flannel. I won't need any batting. Talk about easy, this thing can be done in one day...if I'd get off the computer and work on it.
Also in the works:
This block is a design I copied from one of my mom's quilts. My father's grandmother made the original quilt in royal blue and white. It's beautiful. Unfortunately, it's also the quilt all of us kids have been haggling over. We all hope to inherit it. The last time I was home I laid the quilt out and copied the design on graph paper. Since I don't live near my family I'm sure someone will cabbage on to the quilt before I can sneak away with it. I decided it's just easier to make my own version.
