Wow, already a finish off my FAL list! Mind you, I did only have to finish the binding last night to get it ticked off.
This is Apple Bites – a little stroller/pram quilt for my sister using my Quick Piece Herringbone method. It measures in at just 24.5″ x 17″ – perfect to cover my little niece/nephew. I zigzagged the quilting a 1/4″ from the seams. The obvious choice!
This is the first time I’ve labelled a quilt, and I kinda just made it up. Zigzag cut around the edge, stitch it to the backing, quilt over it. Hopefully that’ll keep it on safe and sound. And a scrappy blue and grey binding from some more jelly roll strips.
I had a couple of assistants trying to help me photograph… helping being a relative term…
Linking up to TGIFF, LAFF and Crazy Mom Quilts!

Great quilt label Alyce! Do you mind if I borrow your idea? I love the Little Apples collection – I have a couple of jelly rolls I’d like to use in a quilt this year.

A nice, streamlined design.
Your helper brought back memories. Often my daughter would “help” in he kitchen, but sometimes I’d say, “Not now, I’m in a hurry.” One time, she looked at me with a puzzled look and asked, “But if I help wouldn’t it go faster?” I don’t remember how I got out of that one.

You did a great job on the lable. The first half year last year I was great and got a lable on every quilt. And then I kinda failed. I think one of the things I want to work on this year is getting a better lable and making sure its on every thing I do. Thanks for linking up your quilt it looks wonderful.
