Curved Log Cabin Quilt + Two Baby Quilts finished this week.


I decided that this quilt needed a facing instead of a binding finish.  I thought binding it would stop the "movement" of the design.  I really don't like hand-stitching, but it's inevitable when attaching a facing.  It took a while, but I got it done, and I'm very happy with the results.


I used lots of FQs for the pieced back and I like the contrast with the front.  I kept the facing scrappy, too, in the spirit of the back.


I also finished two baby quilts this week.  Luckily binding worked well for them.  Below are photos of all three quilt backs.



 Plus, I remembered to stitch quilt labels on all three quilts!  It's like a miracle.

Houston, We Have A Problem



The is the Red, White and Blue Baby Quilt top that I finished in January.  Here is the post about it.

When I posted the finished quilt on social media, I got a call from my eldest.  She and her sister and my granddaughter were aghast at what they saw on the back of the quilt.  I couldn't see what they saw until I downloaded my camera photos to my pc, and viewed the photo from a distance.  Sure enough, there's a problem.  I will get it fixed.  I can't remove it because it's already quilted, but I'm thinking applique of some sort should work.
