At every step and turn, it was surprising how challenging the Urban Renewal quilt has been.\u00a0 This may explain why there are few to be found in the ‘wild’.\u00a0 I love that it’s unusual and proud it is complete.<\/p>\n

The body of the quilt was hand pieced, using the English Paper Piecing method.\u00a0 I straightened the uneven sides of the body with Kona black fabric before adding the flying geese border which was assembled on a vintage (1925) Singer 66 treadle sewing machine.\u00a0 The border was hand stitched to the quilt.\u00a0 The binding was made with black, deep red and blue with gold flecks fabric.\u00a0 All fabric, with exception of the backing, was from my stash.\u00a0 Even the thread and Hobbs Poly-down batting came from supplies already on hand.\u00a0 The backing is wide gray with black Marblehead fabric (manufactured by Fabri-Quilt) and the quilting was done with black YLI hand quilting thread.\u00a0 The label was hand embroidered.<\/p>\n

This sofa-sized quilt finished at 60″ x 75″; large enough to tuck under a chin and still have toes covered.<\/p>\n

Although I’ve been asked by several people to gift this quilt to them, this baby is MINE!!<\/p>\n
