Second June Scrappy Lap Quilt Back

MaxNTopeka — Fri, 20 Jul 2012 08:34:36 GMT

Finished the second lap quilt made for Nana's June 2012 Scrappy Quilt Project. Instead of paper-pieced hearts, I inserted three wonky stars into the top. For the borders I used some of the same fabrics that were in the top. The binding was also pieced together from left-over scraps. Used a fabric with old pickup trucks on the back, and bordered it using the colors from the trucks. Quilted with a simple diagonal straight-line pattern. Finished at 52 inches square. Will be donated, along with the other scrapply lap quilt made in June, to the Alzheimer's Research Project.

Denium Wonky Star

Lightweight denium and flannel lap quilt, finished size (after shrinkage!) 37 X 44 inches. Wonky star block, in center of quilt, is 15 inches square. Tried two techniques new to me: straight-line quilting and facing binding. Was very happy with the way both turned out! Used a mottled tan flannel for the backing, and thin cotton batting. This will be a donation quilt for a man in an Alzheimer's care center.
