Playing Catch Up

 I feel like I’ve been in catch up with my Chookshed Stitchers Challenges. But I am trying my best. 

August should be EPP projects but I have just ed my bear quilt from a while back . I decided to use a minke blanket as a backing. NOT my favourite. I learnt to float the quilt during quilting and NOT to baste it across top and bottom or down the sides.  

Any way it is for Hubby and he won’t mind a glitch or two.  This is the last of  3 panels he bought me when he went to the USA a few years ago now. The minke type blanket I used on the back is very warm, soft and cozy.

I was only able to  complete the centre panel of “ Cloverdale House “ last month so like this one it may take some time before it’s finished .

Warm and cozy bear quilt

It’s very hard to see the quilting on the back
Still very much learning

Great finish Jenny. The quilting looks good. Yes it's hard to see in the fluffy backs, but you got just the right angle to catch it.
