No more Swiss Dot!

Ta da! All done
I quilted the heck out of it and broke three needles. Swiss dot is not easy to quilt.

This is my completely free quilt. The swiss dot was leftover from some curtains. All the triangles were scraps. The blue I bought years ago at JoAnn's when I worked there for a buck and the backing was the wrapping paper on my gift from Frank this year. And.. I pieced the batting together from scraps Teresa keeps sending me.


Wait, I did pay for one thing. I bought thread to quilt it with. This quilt cost about $2.79. It is being shipped off to Jill Reinbold today or Monday. Ahhhhh.

One year late wedding present

I love this quilt! The white is a swiss dot that I was going to use as curtains so I had a ton of it. One morning I started whacking 6 inch squares and shortly had enough for a throw. Time to piece the backing and pin baste. Oh, by the way, there is a quilt in the wash. Can't wait to see it dried.
