Currents Quilt!


Disparate times! Its been raining off and on, but I really wanted to get some photos of this completed quilt, Currents. I stood on my driveway waiting for someone to walk by. The first person was walking a dog, holding a bag of poop, and talking on the phone, so I just waved. The next person helped me, but he didn't want to hold the quilt, so he took the photos. Mission accomplished! This is my 3rd finish this year.

As you can see, I chose to use a facing on this quilt instead of binding it.  A binding would have stopped your eye as it moved across the quilt, a facing allows the movement of the quilt to keep going.

Currents Quilt Top


This is an original design and I'm so happy with the result!  I seldom follow a pattern, which means every quilt is an adventure and/or gamble.  I never really know how it'll turn out.

My next decision was how to have it quilted.  I have a fabulous local LAQ, but I also thought thread color changes would be great.  I decided to have it custom quilted and I put it in the mail today.

If you'd like to make your own Currents Quilt, it's 60' x 60", you can find my tutorial here.
May your bobbins always be full,
