I named this quilt ‘The Between Quilt’ because it was rather unplanned but necessary.\u00a0 It was wedged ‘between’ the last quilt and the next.\u00a0 This quilt helped me survive the transition of becoming an empty-nester when our only hatchling left the nest and moved out-of-state.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Between Quilt pattern is from Bonnie K. Hunter.\u00a0 Her’s is named ‘Hidden Pinwheels’. Mine is about 50\/50% hand and machine pieced and<\/span> 100%<\/span> hand quilted.\u00a0\u00a0 The machine work utilized an early 1970’s Kenmore sewing machine.\u00a0 The quilt has a 2″ black inner border, piano keys outer border and is backed with ecru printed wide fabric.\u00a0 The corners are rounded and the binding was applied by hand.\u00a0 It is hand quilted using ecru YLI and G\u00fctermann threads.\u00a0 No new fabric was harmed while constructing this quilt.\u00a0 Only the backing was purchased….all other fabric came from my stash.<\/span><\/p>\n

When I asked DH for advice on how I should quilt the black inner border, he suggested ‘scrolls’.\u00a0 I misunderstood him (he mumbles) and thought he said ‘scribbles’ which explains the loopy doodle quilting.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is the fastest I’ve ever hand quilted a queen plus size quilt.\u00a0 It was in the frame for 5 months.<\/span><\/p>\n
