The Winding Ways sofa
quilt is finally finished! It was set aside with only inches of binding still left to hand stitch but now it is complete and laundered. I don’t know why I allow other projects to distract me sometimes but it happens. I’m glad I didn’t let this one languish for months!
This sofa quilt was hand pieced and hand quilted. It measures 68″ x 58″, has a narrow frame and wider border (both mitered). The backing is a wide, dark gray fabric with black curlicues.
The hand quilting was done in a hoop, using YLI 40/3 ply ecru colored thread, following the intertwined circles. The border is quilted in a twisted ribbon design and includes my name and date. The binding is black.
There were quite a few remaining bits and pieces left after assembling this quilt so I made extra blocks and assembled a dog quilt measuring 42″ x 35″. I still have enough blocks left to make another one the same size.
Now it’s time to decide what’s next. I plan to make more shirts immediately but I feel another quilt in my near future.
