This year I ran across the Feather Fancy pattern by Cherry Blossoms at Four Winds Quilting. What caught my eye on the pattern was the awesome quilting. I just had to purchase the pattern. I created one for the Sew N Sew exchange. The finished size is around 28" x 28".
White is white. I used backing fabric that was on the machine when quilted this wall hanging. It was pieced and multi-colored homespun. The color of the back pulled through to the front. There are patches of orange, red, brown, etc on the front of this wall hanging. I guess I have to learn something with every quilt. Wow. Crazy learning curve on this wall hanging.
I did the piped binding on this wall hanging. The outer binding was white and the piping was red. I thought the piped binding worked really well for this project.
I had the task of create a gift for the Sew N Sew exchange on my list for most of the summer. I did not have any idea of what I was going to create. I finally found this pattern the end of November. I had to finish my brown bag chicken quilt first so I didn't get started on this wall hanging until a week before it was due to be exchanged. It seems like a small wall hanging like this would not take a while week. It took me a while week and I even had to watch TV with Keegan on the Monday of the exchange to finish the yo-yos. If I would have allowed myself more time, I should have put a hanging sleeve on this wall hanging. That didn't happen though.
After playing the game at the Sew N Sew Christmas party, I received this super cute snowman wall hanging from Bev F. It ended up that she also received the wall hanging I created. Funny!
I do enjoy the Sew N Sew Christmas party but it does seem like I do not finish anything until the very last minute. What is the saying . . . if not for last minute, I would never get anything done?
