My Victorian Fling Quilt

I am getting close to finishing this quilt. Only the binding left to do, a few loose threads to sew in and I will have my first finish of the year. This was the project I set as part of Elm Street Quilts One Month Goal challenge.

After a marathon quilting session and a couple shorter sessions I can say the quilting is completed.

The back shows the quilting better.
The binding colour was a challenge as all the fabric from this range has sold out except for a small piece of the border fabric. In the end I used a black which had a little red and blue design on it. It is the same fabric I used for my binding on my Grand Illusion quilt. I even remembered to sew a hanging sleeve on, considering it is a shop sample.

Here it is with the binding on.

Now this is a free pattern from Penny Rose Fabrics called 30's Fling. It is easy to make and will be hanging in the shop very soon if you want a close look at it.
I have linked this post with Elm Street Quilts who are running the One Month Goal project so pop over and have a look at the finishes and you may want to join us in next month.
Until Next Time

Ruler Foot Quilting and My One Month Goal Project

This quilt is next to be quilted after doing some free motion quilting on my Circle Chic quilt, it is time for some ruler quilting on this one.

In the end I use these three Westalee rulers to quilt this quilt. The blocks were quilted  with one of their specialty Circle rulers for the blocks and the first border was quilted with the clamshell ruler from the sampler set. On the second border I used the 12" arc ruler that came with my Ruler foot.

This is what the block quilting looks like. It is easier to see on the back than the front.
This is what it looks like once I completed all the quilting. Just the binding to go.


I am linking up with Elm Street Quilts in their One Monthly Goal challenge so you can pop over and check out the other goals set or join us as we complete our monthly goal by the end of January.
Until Next Time
