Freehand quilting

This lovely little lap quilt (57 x 69) will keep some lucky person nice and toasty.

I can personally attest to its power to heat because I also sewed the binding on and while I hand sewed, the quilt lay across my lap and kept me plenty warm.

The backing is Fireside and is a breeze to quilt and allows for a lovely stitching pattern on the reverse.

I used thread colors to match the top and back and had fun with freehand quilting.

Tomorrow it will be delivered back to its talented piecer. 

This week I am linking up with The Needle and Thread Network.
