Yesterday, I finished a smallish comfort quilt that I put together from some small squares of 30s fabric someone donated to me. There was not enough squares for a big quilt, so I set the blocks on point with cream squares between them and white triangle for the row endings. I had this great periwinkle print I had bought to use as a border in my stash. I wanted it longer since it will be a comfort quilt, so I added the cream with tiny flowers, which are exactly the same color as the border. Here is the original post where the quilt is just pieced. I thought about each area and the quilt told me what it wanted. I love the quilting even though it is not perfect. When it is bound, I will show the back.
I took the quilt off the longarm, trimmed it, laid it on the family room floor and went to get my camera in the next room. In the few seconds I was gone, Tugger woke up and went and plopped himself on the quilt. He has a sixth sense for knowing when a new quilt is done. He only chooses the new ones to lay on.
