What’s On My Design Wall

Well, it’s no longer on my wall.  This went home with my young quilting friend yesterday evening.  Last weekend we bought the blue KU and red fabrics.  Between the two of us we fussy cut the blocks. Then  I precut the yellow framing from my stash Thursday night.  It was a good thing because once she got here this past Friday night she was ready to sew.

The framing was completed Friday night, then Saturday she added the red sashing and borders.  The moment she finished the top she was digging in my stash to find a backing fabric.  She had the wall hanging quilted and the label made before going to bed Saturday night.  Sunday morning I bound the quilt and added the hanging “sleeve”.  I put triangles in the top corners and a narrow pocket about 4″ long in the center.  We slipped a 1″ strip of wood through the center and into the corners.  I sent some 3M hooks with the quilt so it could be hung.  She’s giving this to one of her teachers.
