Quilt for an Hour — Quilted
How fun to have my Quilt for an Hour project quilted! I did an overall freehand feather. This is going to go on our sofa in the family room, and will look so pretty there. It’s just waiting to be bound, and that will happen next Wednesday at our Daystitcher’s group. We have a group of women who all like to quilt, and we bring some kind of hand work to work on most every Wednesday. Our local library allows us to reserve a conference room, so no one has to play hostess. It’s a great time to finish bindings! (Note: The colors are really an old gold and soft yellow. The photo below on Day 7 is much more accurate.)
I think it’s wonderful that Judy Laquidara made this quilt pattern available to us, and it was a lot of fun to do it in daily increments of about an hour. I also found out that I like to take my time and enjoy the process, and I don’t think I EVER finished a segment in an hour, but that so doesn’t matter. I enjoyed it from beginning to end. Thank you, Judy!

I’m so impressed. I was all set to do this, then a death in the family was more important to deal with. I will do it when I get my wings back. You are such an inspiration and I love your colors. Thanks for posting.

Hi Sue, that is absolutely stupendous, how fantastic to get it quilted already, you must have a long arm to do it that fast. I just love the pattern as well, it’s brilliant, well done.

Thank you for the nice comments. Gail, so sorry to hear of the death in your family, but sometimes life gets in the way of quilting. Then sometimes quilting helps us get through things. Yes, I do have a longarm. When I have a chance, it’s fun to get something of my own done!

Your quilt turned out absolutely lovely. I quilted a bit on mine last night and have only a little more to complete! Mine may be my only county fair entry ~~ we’ll see.

Thank you! You will have to post a comment again when you have a picture of what you decided to do with your borders. It’s always fun to see what someone else has done — especially when they are doing something a little differently!
