I finally finished my Authentic quilt! I have been working on the binding a little bit each day this week while watching Doc Martin. We *love* Netflix Instant, and Doc Martin is our newest addiction. For this quilt I wanted something incredibly simple. I was inspired by this tutorial , and if you are looking to make your first quilt I think it would make a great one to start with. I wanted mine a little bigger though, so I added a little more here and there- where I felt it needed something.
For the back I used Kona Charcoal and added a scrappy off centered middle. I almost like the back as much as the front, since you can see the quilting a little better. I just did a simple zig zag.
I made this quilt for our family room, and I am really enjoying cuddling under it while we still have a bit of chilly weather. Spring is coming in full force!
Gorgeous! I definitely love the back just as much as the front... It's stunning! Love the look of the zig zag quilting.
ReplyDeleteI love your design, it works so well for the fabric. I love Authentic, actually all of the sweetwater fabrics are great.
