Fun Day!

Yesterday some friends came over to sew.

I rarely have sewing dates with friends,

so this was special.

We chatted, laughed and sewed the morning away.

Once they left I continued to sew

and finished this!

The center had been made a couple of weeks ago,

so I started adding the borders and prairie points.

 

I think this little polka dot fabric is one of my favorites.

It has been used in a number of quilts and I was glad

it's still being sold, as I had to order more for this little quilt.

It was a bit of a challenge to get the dots to run in straight lines though...

they don't run along the grain of the fabric. 

 

I found a version of this quilt on line and

 added my own spin to it. 

I love the bold pinwheels against the little dots.

Once this is quilted, I'm going to save it for a special little one.

(Just as I was getting ready to publish this post, my husband called

to tell me of friends who are expecting their first child. 

I think I've found the special little one.)

I do have a question...

I've never made prairie points or had a quilt with them.

When this quilt is washed, will they lose their shape at all? 

Will they need to be pressed back into shape?

Have a wonderful day all!

Happy Friday!
