Wonky Amateur Quilting

The quilting project was completed last weekend when the DDA finished the sides. Sewing down the three layers wasn't that easy job in turned out. It took much longer than expected and much stitch adjustments went into the work too, not to mention the many wonky sewing!

Nevertheless the DDA completed the quilt and feels rather pleased if not 100% satisfied. It was a first, and it gives such pleasure to create such a big project from scratch. She'll most probably make other attempts at making more quilts in the future.

Here are some snaps of the completed quilt that will be presented to her friend as a belated birthday and thank you gift.







The DDA really appreciate all the help given by Silvana and Eduardo from Beyond Fabrics in choosing fabrics to formulating a strategy to putting the quilt together. Not to mention the valuable tips they've shared with her on the type of thread, to the stitch and the finishing!

Have to say the DDA started out with an ignorant attitude, thinking that she could take on such a large project with so little knowledge. After this exercise, she's definitely taking a different approach the next time! More planning and even more patience to match!
