WIP: The last minute finished quilt
I finished this small quilt -I call it a stroller quilt/blanket- on our way to Thessaloniki, while my husband was driving…Hand binding a small quilt can be a very easy “on the road” project.
First of all I have to credit my inspiration, that was NanaCompany and her wonderful quilting, and the book “Warman’s Vintage Quilts“, which includes a very similar doll quilt.
I used on the top the line “30’s Playtime” by Chloe’s Closet from Moda fabrics and a dark brown cotton solid, and for the backing Red flower Floursack from Windham fabrics. The quilt measures approximately [63,5 cm x 83,8cm] 25” Χ 33” inches, and it was machine quilted, with a few hand-quilted details, and hand-binded.
I decided to keep this space of our living room for photographing my smaller quilts. I think it looks really cool.

That is sweet. I never thought to put black with 30s prints but I will have to bear it in mind.
