Well here is a sneak peek of nicey jane now that she’s quilted! I was up till 2am doing the quilting on her and it sure makes for one tired mummy! I see a lot of coffee and sugar in my day today, yaaaaaawn.
I’m going to make a start on the binding tonight. I like to sew mine on the machine and then fold it over and hand sew it to the back of the quilt, so it could take a few nights on the couch but then I’m done! I really love this quilt already and so does keira, she was a little upset that I wouldn’t let her lie under it this morning!
Now, the quilt back looks so simple but seemed to take forever to find large enough fabric pieces but I’m pleased to report all 7 pieces came from my stash!!!! The back also reveals a couple of spots that need a teeny tiny fill in but overall I love seeing the improvement in my free motion!
it looks so gorgeous Corrie! I love that fabric line and putting it together so simply really suits it. I so desperately want to buy myself a big fat quarter bundle of Nicey Jane but I am trying not to spend too much money on fabric at the moment!
Nicey Jane is very , very nice ! Not only are you quick it is beautiful !
Gorgeous, simply gorgeous!
Weel done you! I hit the sack a bit earlier than you – finished cutting and interfacing backpack pieces about 12.30!
Oh it looks gorgeous Corrie! I cant believe you were up till 2 quilting it all. You will be a tired mummy today wont you. You must show us how to do free motion quilting one day, it sounds very interesting!!
Goodness Corrie, you are a machine! Do you ever stop? I just love that quilt, can’t wait for the final reveal.
Fabulous work, that’s a lot of effort. Both front & back are beautiful. Happy quilting, love Posie
Nicey Jane indeed – it loks reat Corrie and well done on the stash busting – have fun sitting on the couch for the next few nights and hope that the coffee and sugar help you today:)
beautiful work. I love the serene backing fabric you chose!
Wow..big effort and it looks lovely. If I stay up that late I end up sleeping very early the next night either on the couch or the kids’ beds! Boom bust!! I was up late last night making a ric rac boy (on demand from my daughter :)) He’s not quite finished…
I have been waiting to see how the quilt is coming along and you just don’t disappoint!!! It is beautiful. I have just started a quilt from the same pattern. If it turns out 1/4 as good as yours I will be happy….. Enjoy your coffee and sugar today it sounds like you will need it
Looks great! I am looking forward to making some placemats and giving the free motion quilting a go.
Ahhhh… You’re a superb mom and a quilter!! BTW I tend to do a lot of sewing when my family is in bed, too… take care and happy quilting
This is going to be gorgeous Corrie! I love these new fabrics – I really need to use up what I have here so I can buy some lol.
Your free motion quilting looks beautiful! Nice job!!!! I usually machine sew my binding on, but want to try hand sewing it on. I’m just not a very patient person..haha. I do think it would look a lot nicer hand stitched.
It’s beautiful Corrie! Now you’re going to have to fight Keira to see who gets to use it LOL!
I will have to send my quilts up to you to do. It looks great. Love the colours in the quilt too.
This is absolutely beautiful!
Amazing girl! You dont muck around do you?
You have insipired me to finish a quilt I have had hanging around. THIS summer. I must.
Gorgeous!
It looks beautiful Corrie, worth all the time spent on it and the late night. I hope you get a chance to rest today.:)
Beautiful!
Beautiful. I love the colors too.
Another great looking quilt. Perhaps you could do a post with tips for beginning free motion?
Beautiful work! I don’t know what it is about pieced backings, but even joining a few large pieces seems to take an inordinately long time!
What a beeeeautiful quilt! When I visualise making a quilt, I see it taking a whole year to do… and you’ve just whipped one up. Well done! Love it!
Lovely, lovely, lovely! Love that stipling – have got to give it a go.
Beautiful!! So bright and cheery…those fabrics a fab!
breathtaking. i would feel so at peace wrapped up in it! xo m.
So impressive Corrie and as always the quilt is simply beautiful. What an inspiration!
Looks great Corrie! I am motivated to get some fabric out and sew a similar quilt. Well done
Quilting until 2 a.m! That was a real short night, hope you will be able to keep your eyes open tonight to sew the binding on ;-0. Aren’t your shoulders sore from all the quilting on a row?
It’s a stunning quilt Corrie, well done. My FQ bundle of Swell Nicey is on its way – it’s all your fault that I bought it!!!
The quilting looks gerat.
Happy Binding,
Ab
Nice work Corrie! I’m thinking I should send down my quilt tops for you to quilt!! I’ve had a bundle of Nicey Jane sitting on my desk since before Christmas..must fine time to sew this weekend!
Lovely and light – great work!
It’s really lovely.
