I finally finished my scrappy little wall quilt that I've been working on! I call it scrappy because #1 I had no pattern, I just free styled. And #2 I am a beginner when it comes to quilting. This is my second attempt!Anyhow, this started as a 8 x 10 piece of muslin and was supposed to be just some hand embroidery, but I took it a little further and turned it into a wall quilt!
I just measured out some squares and sewed them on around my 8 x 10 hand stitched piece and VOILA a little quilt. I added some batting to the inside and plain muslin for the backing. Then I blind stitched the binding on. As you can tell I need some practice with my binding. I'm having trouble getting it even- especially near the corners.
Here is a closeup of the text. It says:
"Once in a while- right in the middle of an ordinary life- LOVE gives us a fairytale!"
Here is a closeup of the hand quilting and the button details. I think the buttons go well with that particular type of fabric print.
Just one of my many projects that I wanted to share! Have a wonderful weekend!Hugs,
Ruth Ann

Cute! Keep up the good work. I have no craftiness in me, but I like to see others do it.
