I have taken several rows off the log cabin quilt, removed the batting, which was only pinned, and hand sewn the backing fabric on.
It now fits the couch/bed - hooray!! And it weighs a lot less too.
Of course, there are 51 blocks that I have removed. Plus some extras that didn’t make it into the quilt.
That might be enough for a whole new quilt!!
Or a lot of cushions.
So far, I have not sewn the quilt top and the backing together. There’s no middle layer that might need to be secured. If I find it needs quilting, I’ll consider that in the future.
I am just pleased that it is now out of the ‘waiting to be finished’ cupboard! (AKA: WIPs or UFOs.)
And, of course, today is ... 22/8/22.
