Lifesavers Quilt - A Picture Post

It's been go go go this week.  No stopping that sewing machine until it's all done.

Lifesavers Quilt ~ measures 46 inches x 46 inches.

Mind you, I don't consider playing around with fabric and sitting behind the sewing machine hard work.  It's a pleasure really and consider myself lucky with my lot.

As I sew I am usually accompanied by either music or TV/DVD.  This week saw a re-play of the UK TV series Downton Abbey.  Definitely no hardship.

For the back of the quilt (as pictured above) I have used a single Michael Miller print which nicely complements the colors and tones of the quilt top.  The quilt is quilted with a grid of straight lines:  vertical, horizontal as well as diagonal lines to intersect in the middle of each block.  Lots of quilting.

I was tempted to use my go-to black/white stripe binding fabric for this quilt, however I don't like being too predictable and so chose a red/white stripe fabric instead.  It's not too far outside of my comfort zone.  The red/white stripe fabric is from Simply Sweet by Barbara Jones of QuiltSoup for Henry Glass.

I have updated my Etsy Store.  You can check out the listing here:  Lifesavers Quilt  SOLD

Thank you for stopping by,
