another one bites the dust


when I worked in the city and I’d finish a review or file I’d always sing doo doo doo …another one bites the dust…… and funnily enough thats what I did when I finally finished the binding on this …my first ‘larger than a dolls quilt’ quilt..done and ready to put away


the fabrics are all scraps with the backing a lecien mrs march fabric I found at half price a few weeks ago……I love the binding and think the freshcut fabric makes the best binding…and my mitred corners are coming along nicely thank you

I got the pattern from one of the small patchwork books in the store (I always keep one for myself)

now I just need to get to the 3 other small quilts that need binding………

  1. I love this quilt – it’s so incredibly pretty! Don’t you love that finished binding feeling!

  2. WOW! The quilt looks gorgeous – I love quilts made from scraps as I think they have such a history when you can look back and remember what else was made from a particular fabric.

  3. Oh I love this one Corrie! It is so fresh and summery looking. Very pretty indeed!

  4. Well done! And your corners look fab, too. Those Kaffe Fassett fabrics are really stunning together on a quilt.

  6. Great quilts, wish I had the patience to do it, that plus the ability to NOT kill sewing machines.

  7. It looks great! Isn’t all your time being taken up with packing, though? :-)

  8. I love how you put all the scraps together! I think that freshcut fabric is perfect for all bindings, too. Great job.

  9. That is SO PRETTY! I love the colour combo Corrie! You really are very clever you know. We’ll have to catch up & have a shopping day when you get to Melb.

  10. Corrie, what type of wadding do you use. Do you use anything cheaper then quilting wadding?

  11. LOL I love the little song that you sing and the quilt is simply beautiful Corrie!
