Yes, my 'A Hug From Deborah' is complete! I am so pleased with how it turned out.
This quilt was so much fun to make. The printed fabrics are all Moda's 2WENTY-THR3E. The solid is Kona cotton in bone. I used Aurafil 50wt in off white for the quilting. The finished size is 59x73.
I did organic echo quilting in the chevrons. A lazy 8 pattern in the 1 in. border and I circled all of the dots in the outside border. A lot of work, but so much fun. I have never done this much quilting on a single quilt before. It took a total of 15.75 hours! No wonder I am a little achy.
The orange on the back is from Hancock. I don't know the name of it.
I sewed the binding on by machine. I think that this is one of my favorite things I learned to do this summer! It is FAST!!
I used every single scrap of fabric for this back. I have one piece of the gray dot fabric left! It is 5.5x20in. That is called NO waste!!
My wonderful friend Deborah (
at Simply Miss Luella) gave me these charm packs. I love her and appreciate her great generosity! Thank you again, Deborah! You are such an inspiration to me.
I have washed her and dried her and she is ready to cuddle up with! I just love how she puckered up and is so very, very soft.
