Backing Fabrics

 

I could not make up my mind which colour was best the dirty pink or the cigar brown. In the end I bought a length of both and strip pieced the two together. My Sidmouth Quilt is now ready to go to the quilters.

 

 

 

The Merchant"s Wife quilt top also has two fabrics strip pieced for the backing. The bird fabric is from a new range by Kathy Doughty called A Wandering Mind so now it to is going to the quilters.
Does this mean I am free to start something new or should I be good and look in the cupboard for something to finish?      Sue

Summer Sewing

 

This ugly (in a good way) fabric has been at the shop for a while now. Finally found the right pinks to go with it.

 

Some of the pinks I begged, borrowed and stole.

 

 

not a good colour representation

 

way to yellow

 
 
 

Now the top is finished, backing needs to be chosen then off to the quilter. Even though its  been so hot in Melbourne this summer I have managed to start several new projects. So far this is the only one that's near to complete which is odd because normally I prefer hand sewing but I must say I have enjoyed sewing this one together on the machine. Can't believe I just said that!
