Hourglass quilt - Finished!I was really happy to finish the hourglass quilt that I’ve been working on since sometime in fall 2016. It’s one of only a few really big, queen-sized quilts that I’ve made. I finished it up with faced binding, because I didn’t want to have the visual of the binding / border look around the edges. I like how it turned out and how the blocks just meet the end of the quilt. I’ve only done faced bindings on mini or small quilts before, but I think I might do it more often for larger quilts, too. The last step for this one is to throw it in the wash, then on a bed! I had originally wanted to use it for our bed but this one may end up going to my parents’ house. Quilty details:Approximately 95 x 97″ finished size Made of 64 rectangular “blocks” which each include 1 large hourglass block, 3 small hourglass blocks, and 1 stripQuilt top used 256 hourglass blocks and 96 strips of fabric in a mixture of Kona Cotton, Riley Blake Confetti Cottons and RJR Cotton Supreme Solids fabricsLong arm quilted myself (rented time from Kirstin on her Handiquilter, here in Ottawa)Faced binding to finish.Linking up with Finish it up Friday. * * * For more on this project, here are some related posts:Longarm quilting hourglass project Finished quilt topHourglass overload (project layout)Hourglass project progress (making rectangular blocks)Hourglass blocks (getting started on this project) Tutorial: Hourglass block -- source link
