I have five minutes before I have to head up to school and collect the kids, so this is going to be quick! I started this quilt in Jan 2011... Hey look at the blog dates... the start and finish dates of this quilt are exactly 18 months apart!
I pattern is a free tutorial from Cluck Cluck Sew, Raggy circle Applique quilt. I modified things slightly, which I explain in my original post.
To finish this WIP I basted, quilted and bound the quilt. A super quick process as it's only baby/bassinet size, therefore requiring no piecing for the backing, and I quilted in the ditch. I also machine stitched on the binding to speed things up. I finished the whole WIP up in a matter of a a few hours.
Used up some of the dreaded aqua birds! I have 6 metres of the lying around (only 4.5 now!).
The the binding I decided to use up some Denise Schmidt Picnics and Fairgrounds. I used 2 of the prints in the range, but you only notice this close up. From a distance the scale and colour of the prints are very similar. I also washed and tumble dried the quilt to get the raggy process happening on the raw edges of the appliqued circles.

The blue birds!! I have some too! It's utterly useless except for quilt backs! I thought it was going to be a good "generic" type fabric, and expected it to be used up quickly, but it hasn't!! Just the wrong blue or something?
Love the raggy quilt!! Well done!!
That quilt is gorgeous! And I like the aqua birds (I am a fan of anything aqua!)
I'm off to pin the tutorial for the one-day pile and then I better get started on the binding for my own July WIP finish!
Happy quilting!
