QUILT OF THE WEEK...

This week's picture features a quilt top that I "cheated" to make.  I had this beautiful Judie Rothermel Baltimore Album quilt kit, but try as I may, I just couldn't complete it via hand applique.  The blocks are just too small.

So, I tweaked it by enlarging the blocks a bit and using fusible web followed by a very time consuming machine buttonhole stitch with cotton thread.  Okay, don't look too close, really.  I am not the best machine stitcher either.  LOL.

Anyway, I am NEW to blogging, but am trying to get up to speed, so SOON I will have a LINKY for you to add your new quilt top images to.  Have a GREAT day!


Here's a close up shot on a block so you can see the detail better.


I love this small quilt now that it's done.

Please leave a comment and share what you have been working on in YOUR sewing room.

  1. This is beautiful. I am just starting to quilt but have been too afraid to tackle the applique yet.
