Salty Giant Finished!

Apologies for my absence this week.

It's been quite a week, and one I am looking forward to forgetting. So it is wonderful to finally be able to show you not only some quilting, but a finish!

You may remember me posting about this quilt top (and back) several months ago.  This will be a class sample for an upcoming one day workshop, based on Jeni's pattern here.

I quilted my Salty Giant (so called because the fabrics used are called 'Salt Air' by Cosmo Cricket) the same way I quilted my Brit bee giant star.

As yet unwashed!
And of course, stripy binding to finish!  Oh how I love stripy binding!

I'm hoping that as this quilt hangs on display in my classroom it will inspire folks to want to spend a fun day making one for themselves.

  4. Oh I really like how you quilted this. Much better than my plan for quilting the Bee Blessed one - might have to flatter you by imitation (or downright copying)! Great job. Hope loads of folks decide they just have to have one for themselves now and sign up to fun Saturday.

  22. I love Salt Air and have FINALLY purchased some! I got a scrap bag and discount yardage. From Southern fabrics. They look great in your quilt. I love the navy background. What fabric is this?
