Finished is finished


                                                   
 My  version of a quilt to re-use jeans materials,  also with previously used flannel & several smallish pieces of batting.  Heavy? a little, I also mucked about with two threads in the needle. I wanted a thicker red thread.  I use a  cone of a pink cotton with various reds,  ends of spools. 


I am feeling good 1. to have finished it, 2.  to have used up  a bit of stuff that's been hangin about the studio for what feels like much too long.  and 3. one RTO off of my 'list'.

This weekend I hope to bring my Guild mystery quilt, up to date.  My intent was to try and finish mine (quilted and all) before I quilted any from clients.  Ha!  good intentions are funny things. And I Know I will bypass making mystery quilts, in the future. Not my cuppa.
And I am off for a cuppa hot  lemon 'cold medicine' and a small pity party for one...colds aren't fun.

  3. Great quilt I've made 3 denim quilts and they are very heavy and warm. My kids love them I'm sure yours will get a lot of use. I read your dilemma about your pantos... I had some trouble with my machine not being exactly square once the quilt was in and pulled on it. We added a brace at the offending end so the pole couldn't pull forward and it fixed the problem.
