A week of finishes - Day 3 :: Children made Project Linus quilt

This wonderfully colourful quilt was made by Home Educated children at a local group.  4 children took part in making this and really enjoyed the chance to use a sewing machine.



It was a simple case of quilting and binding for me ....


I decided to try out a star pantograph.  You may recall that I am very new to pantographs, my first attempt can be seen here, and I am still not quite sure  what I think of them or my skill in using them!


Whilst I was doing it I thought I didn't like the way it looked but once it was off the frame and on the wall I thought it looked OK!

This is my 4th finish from my 2016 Finish Along Quarter 3 list (Number 17 on the list)

  1. I have not tried pantographs myself, but I think the stars and loops are sweet on this quilt.

  3. The children did so well with making this quilt. I think your quilting looks great Abigail. Pantographs can be tricky to quilt but I think you have done well here. We are our own worse critics.

  7. This looks great and the kids did a wonderful job piecing it. I'm sure when it lands at its new home, it will be well loved.
