solids. done.

Phew! I'm done with the solids quilt. After marathon binding that puppy, I finished it up this afternoon. (As I was finishing, I had to put up with the commentary of an eleven-year-old who found it crazy talk that I could possibly enjoy quilting. I wanted to tell him that throwing a frisbee around didn't give me chills of pleasure, personally, but I wasn't dissing his hobby, now was I? I remembered just in time that I am much older than he is and should act my age. Phew! Age prevailed!)

But you didn't come here to talk about that eleven-year-old. You came here to talk quilts! Or see photos, anyhow.


Ta da!


I used a gray and white herringbone fabric for the back after deciding that the batik I'd originally picked out wasn't going to do the trick.


You can see the quilting a little clearer in this picture. I quilted chevrons across the squares because I think chevrons are fierce.


This was my first quilt using continuous binding, and I used leftover fabric from the quilt top for the binding. I really like the look of it!

Now to wash and sew on the "from" tag and deliver it! Pending, of course, that the stain on the front comes out.

  1. I love how the quilt came out! The chevrons are, to use quilting lingo, totally boss. ;)

    I had a remember-your-age encounter with a kid today. He honked his bike horn, expecting me to move when he could just pedal around me, and I did NOT call him a boogerface. So proud.

    I'll keep my fingers and toes crossed about the stain! Work your magic, Mr. Audrey's Mama!
