Friday Finish

Peace Comfort Quilt


I finally finished this quilt a few weeks ago and donated it to my quilt guild to give as a comfort quilt.  I made this quilt "pillow style."  That is, I sewed the front and back right sides together along with the batting and turned it rather than binding it.  That sounds easier than it was for me.  I had all kinds of problems measuring the backing and batting correctly and as a result this quilt sat in my WIP pile for quite a while.  To quilt it, I used one of the decorative stitches on my machine and stitched little half circles along the seams.  It turned out OK, but it's not my best work by any means.  I learned some things about machine quilting and keeping the back smooth.  I think it would have been easier to quilt if I had planned to do a binding on the edge. 

Thanks to all of you for your well wishes.  I'm getting better each day and have been assured that I will be happy someday that I had the oral surgery.  But I have to say I'm reaaally looking forward to eating something that isn't soft, white or yellow.  Applesauce, scrambled eggs and Greek yogurt can only take you so far.

  2. Beautiful quilt! How wonderful of you to donate it to your quilt guild as a comfort quilt. Hope you continue to recover nicely. I can see how you could get tired of soft foods.
