My Quilt #208 ~ Camp Sloanie Quilt 2010
I’m a fan of Pat Sloan's designs and just love her fabric! And just because I needed another project to do (not!), I joined Camp Sloanie for the Winter StashBuster weekend event that started on Friday, February 5. You had to sign up on her website to get the directions to complete the quilt. And, no, this fabric is not Pat Sloan’s.
I didn’t finish it before the end of the weekend but finally finished it in March. I machine-quilted it with an all-over swirly design and tacked down the binding by hand. It measures 61 inches square.
I had a few leftover blocks, and there’s no better way to use them than to include them in the backing. And, a quilt is not really finished until it has its label.
I am really bad about putting labels on my quilts. My BQFFs are always getting on me for this! So I made the label on my computer using instructions from The Crafty Gemini. I then attached my label to the backing BEFORE I quilted the top. It’s machine-sewn on all four sides and then securely quilted. I don’t think this label is going anywhere!
