Wash Day

By

Yeah! The quilt top is finished! Isn’t it awesome? Here are some more pictures:

Oh, I don’t think I will give this quilt away!

It was a lot of fun appliqueing the clothes, which I did using Aurifil monofilament (easy to use because it does not keep breaking!) and a very small zigzag stitch.

I am still trying to decide which outfit I like the best. My stash of 1930s fabric is not too large, yet the combinations seem to have worked.

Oh, it looks like I still need to applique the clothespins, but that will not take long at all.

The pattern is called Wash Day by Coach House Designs. As usual, I modified it a little bit: I opted to use a white background, and only used the four-patch block as opposed to three different blocks as the patterns. I used HeatnBond Lite to fuse the shapes. I will not add a border; instead, will quilt and bind it.

I am pretty giddy with this finish. I will link it to Crazy Mom Quilts and Confessions of a Fabric Addict, Quilt Shop Gal, Forth Worth Fabric Studio, Sew Fresh Quilts, and My Quilt Infatuation…

    This is such a super adorable quilt! I love it just like it is without a border, too. Such cute, cute clothes and the little red clothes pins are just perfect!
