Connors Quilt - Part 2

 

I finally got to work more on Connor's quilt last night. He wasn't in bed yet, so he watched a little. When he saw me piecing the back together he got confused and asked if I was sewing a quilt for his brother too. Then he got excited to hear that his quilt would have two parts. He wanted to put it on his bed already.


So I pieced the back with a white strip in between the bigger pieces so that it would look a little bit like the front, and because the flannel for the back was in two pieces anyway and the pattern didn't match up. Then I sandwiched it with some white & natural, drew diagonal lines with my ruler, and machine quilted. (I don't know why I took that picture before I trimmed off the extra white & natural - I guess it was late at night)


I like the way it turned out. It's coming along a lot faster than Chloe's quilt. Of course, her's is probably 6 times as big! Now I just have to bind it. I am inclined to use black binding because I already have a couple packages. Black would look fine with the back, but I'm not sure about the front. Any opinions?

Come to think of it, I think I'll post a poll. I've been itching to try it. So please vote!!!!! (but that does that mean I have to listen?????) Oh, another poll!

  1. I have never made a quilt but yours is so cute. If the back is the race cars I think the black binding will look great! Good job! Ann

  2. Thanks Ann! I probably just want to do the black because I'm lazy. But I might end up having to make some red binding based on the voting so far!

  4. Thanks for posting. He's also just learning his letters so he loves to see "his" letter C.

  5. Okay, it looks like 2 people "voted" red binding, one for black, and one for green. But then, on the issue of whether you decide or I decide, I win, two to one! Let me think about this... I'll be back.
