wool applique quilt

I finally finished my wool appliqué quilt that I started

several years ago!

It has been a fun project to pick up and stitch…. a few blocks at a time.

I used gold perle cotton to blanket stitch around the hearts and also to tie the

top to the flannel backing.  

Here's little tip to make threading your needles easier…thread lots of needles at once.

That way when you run out of thread on one needle, the next is ready to go!

I decided the pull my threads to the back of the quilt so that the front would look smooth.

I didn't use any batting with the wool and flannel because that would have

made it very heavy.

This is a very cozy little quilt that I know will come in handy this winter.

little quilt monday~~~blast from the past

Little Quilt Monday

I have been working on an old WIP that will end up being such a warm, cozy throw

 that I am wondering why I haven't finished it sooner : )

It is recycled wool, from skirts, suits, and pants.  It was fun to buttonhole applique the

hearts  and then I lost interest.  Oh, sometimes I wonder why I lose interest and

 have so many unfinished projects....does this happen to you?

Well, I am going to get this finished.  I need some black flannel for the back and

then I am going to hand quilt or maybe just tie it...and then enjoy!

Now it is your turn to link up something to

Little Quilt Monday

1.  This link-up party is for any small project.  For example, mini quilts, doll quilts, baby quilts, place mats, mug rugs,

wall quilts, table runners, etc.

2.  They can be a WIP(work-in-progress) or finished.

3.  If it is something from the past there is no need to write a new blog post, just link the one that you have already written, and, please link back to my blog post.

4.   If you are interested, you can add your pictures to my flickr group here, or join my Facebook group here. 

Let's inspire each other!
