Quilting - a bright little quilt from a flimsy


 I finished up this quilt top (40" x 54") yesterday!!  It has been sitting since December of last year and I have been really trying to not have too many unfinished projects in my stash.  I added a layer of cotton as batting and then this white and yellow checkered cotton on the back.  I stitched the cotton to the backing and then I added the quilt top and stitched rows of fancy stitching in white thread about 8" apart to quilt the sandwich together.  I trimmed the backing with enough extra to bind my quilt with it.  Worked out really well and I love the nice bright colours!!!  Therese
