Reverse of Bosna #2, commercial cottons, machine pieced.
74x 82", large enough to have something to hold when I quilt it.
This back was so fast and easy to make, that it was done in one day by 3pm.
I think I may make another back like this while the fabric is pulled, and then quilt these two sides of Bosna #2 later. My goal is to use up lots of fabric. It feels wonderful to sew up these strips, squares, and bits of leftover patchwork. I have been spray starching everything as I go, and that makes the fabric crisp and wonderful to sew. 50% liquid starch, 50% water in a spray bottle.
Don' your dyed fabrics and KF collective fabrics look beautiful together!! I love both back and front. Thanks for the tip of 50% starch and the equivalent of water, for some reason I have difficulty finding liquid start he in NZ, I shall continue looking.
ReplyDeleteThe equivalent here in Oz is called Fabulon, perhaps you have it in N.Z?
ReplyDeleteI love your shift in focus and the results! Making quilts should be fun! I quit over 4 years ago because it was no longer fun. But you have inspired me to use up a huge fabric stash in a similar carefree approach. Thanks for all your posts!
