This was a kit from Connecting Threads. I really love small kits like this. It's super easy and goes together in a day, that's piecing the top and quilting it.
I don't really care for these colors, I think it did a bit of fading once it was washed and dried. Well, I actually rinsed it. I think this will be on it's way to California to GG (great grandma). The pattern didn't call for the red border, only the blue...but I thought adding the red looked good.
Thanks for your comments on the basting gun. I did order one, but found one much cheaper at Ebay rather than Amazon. Also, I basted a quilt this morning using a technique from a video Gene sent me. Thanks Gene, it went really quick and it was a good lap sized quilt. It's ready to quilt now, so we'll see how it goes. *hoping for no wrinkles*
I bet GG will love it!!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your basting!!

ReplyDeleteMaybe I need to get Gene'e tips on basting, I just use pins....
ReplyDeleteGood luck!! I think the red make the quilt!
I agree that the red in the border makes it pop. Glad the basting link helped. I would not call it "my" tips. Ha ha. I was just passing on info. I like to share!
ReplyDeleteI like the red it make the colors pop. I'm sure GG will love her new table topper.
ReplyDeleteLet us know how the basting gun goes. I wonder how hard it is to remove all the little tabs?
