Picnic Block Extras

Here is a quick finish for this week.  I used the remaining nine blocks from my reign as Queen in March.  This is the Fat Quarter Shop Remix – Picnic Time Pillow

It is a quick block that measures up at 16 1/2 inches, a few blocks make a nice little throw.

I was gifted a Quilter Dream Green batting and decided this would be a perfect use.  I wasn’t sure of the feel as I was putting the sandwich together, it felt a little artificial.  If that can be, a bit of a plastic feel.  Not sure if that was just in my head or not.  The quilting was quick and nice, no different of a feel for the needle as my usual Warm and White batting.  After the wash, it feels ok.  I may give it a try again, but it won’t be my go to batting.  Glad to have receive it and was able to give it a try.

 

For this one, I use the wavy lines with the walking foot for quilting.

 

Some leftover patriot print for the backing and leftover navy grunge for the binding.

 

Now I only have three project remaining incomplete.  A gift quick of Cat in the Hat, a paper pieced Christmas tree and a wall quilt (40 x 40).

 

Time to get the next project done.

    Terrific finish! I, too, do like the texture of that quilting. It is a lovely little quilt and you did a fab job. I only wish I had 3 UFOs. I am so looking forward to saying that one day. Any decision on your sewing table yet?
