Fun with 4 Patches


I was having fun with the split 4 patch and can finally show the completed top. I love how it turned out bright and cheery.
This weekend I finished the binding on my Swoon quilt. I like doing binding but not when it's 380" to hand sew on a hot day. I'm so glad to have this quilt finished.
Here it is on my queen size bed. This quilt has a good amount of overhang on the bed. I haven't washed this quilt yet so I'm expecting a little bit of shrinkage still.
Most of the weekend was looking at this beautiful view. I love walking on the beach.

Happy Quilting!

  5. They are all simply lovely - especially the 4 patch. I love the way the white solid offsets the bright colours.
    Well done! :-)

  11. Both of your quilts look lovely and to have a finish is a good thing :). I agree - I love to sew binding down - not so much in the heat tho. Sounds like maybe your on a getaway - enjoy if you are.

  14. That was a lot of binding for Swoon, but it was worth every stitch... it's beautiful! The split 4 patch is super cheery, and a cute pattern for those yummy fabrics? Beach? What's that? I'm envious... (Coming from someone living in land locked Iowa...)
