Just completed sewing on the label for MIL's lap quilt. This was definitely a speed quilt for me as I had it done in a week. It is the Ohio Star pattern but my version of it as I used up bits of fabric that I had. The directions I had called for three colours but I didn't have enough so I introduced a fourth colour, the light blue.
Of course I managed to get some of my pansy fabric into it as well and that of course just 'makes' the quilt!
I found the binding went on sooo much better this time. Followed the advice I'd read on here about measuring the middle of the quilts and cutting the binding to match and easing the quilt into it. Had no problem what-so-ever. I even hand sewed it down (gasp). Perhaps not the smartest thing to do - sitting in 85' weather with a quilt over your lap but what the heck.
Click below for a picture of the label and quilt. I originally digitized the label for my DD quilt and decided to use it as my signature label just changing the wording as needed. Oh, you will get a peek at parts of DH too ;-)
Now as soon as it cools off a bit I'll bring out the queen size to finish quilting.
