This is my second Project Quilting Quarantine quilt for 2020. I always loved those cross quilts with flowers, they look Amish and primitive. If you are a sewer or quilter you should check out Project Quilting on Facebook for challenges and other fun stuff to sew up. So here goes.
Laid out green binding for stems pinned and sewed in place.
Pinned out flowers and leaves onto fabric and zigzag stitched on the edges to keep them on.
Made a circle with a piece of cotton batting tucked inside, just gathered the circle with stitches on the edge to keep edge clean. Sewed with a strait stitch onto the flower.
Ready to iron and make my quilt sandwich.
I did trim up all the threads from the raw edges off the flowers and leaves.
Quilted on my home sewing machine with a tight meandering stitch (my favorite stitch). Binding is a light grey with tiny white flowers. Pockets on the back side for a hanging dowel were added before binding. Made in Tonawanda New York and measures 21” square.
