Way back in June I participated in a fabric exchange. The way this one worked was that you cut 10 different 2 1/2"by half the width of the fabric, so the strips where 2 1/2" by 22" or so. Then pack those 10 strips in to snack sized ziplock bag, you can exchange more than one set. Most people in this group send in approximately 10 sets. Then mail your sets into the swap hostess. She swaps all the packages around and mails the fabric back out to you. Pretty nice.
Well, anyway the first one of these I participated in was the purple exchange. Shortly after getting my purple fabrics back I got the book
Sunday Morning Quilts by Amanda Jean Nyberg and Cheryl Arkison. This was just the inspiration I need for these purple strips if fabric. I decided that the Sunday Morning Quilt by
Cheryl Arkison was the perfect fit for these fabrics.
It is not quite the same as in the book, but I wanted to work with what I had. I think it worked. Don't you?
I machine sew the binding of my quilts. This time I tried an new stitch. I am not quite perfect at this, but I kind of like it.
I just did a simple back.
I am very happy with this quilt.
