Finished Charm Quilt

 Another small Charm quilt is washed and crinkled. I love making smaller quilts to decorate my home. I turned this area behind the staircase into a small office area. My son spray painted an old mirror with black chalkboard paint. My daughter said it looks like a flat screen TV.
 This desk was a natural wood color before I painted it white.
  I am using spraypaint with a primer.  The black chair is going to be painted in the coral color.
I have a helper named Max.
The quilt look nice with the newly painted coral chair, two metal boxes, and the blue fabric lampshade.
 I sewed the binding on the the reproduction 1930's quilt.
 A lot of hand sewing is left to do because this is a king size quilt.
 
I am making more yo-yos. It is fun to do while watching TV.
Hope you all have a wonderful and relaxing weekend!
Hapy Quilting,

Finished Charm Quilt

 
 The best part of quilting for me is when I have a finished quilt. I just finished this cute charm pack quilt. In the picture below is the unwashed quilt which matches so well with my daughter's orange sneakers. Orange is her favorite color, I think she has three pairs of orange shoes. She is a teenager and loves her orange shoes.
 Quilt is washed and right out of the dryer. I am thrilled at how the quilt crinkled up after the first wash. This one has Hobbs 80/20 cotton batting like most of my quilts. 
 I am glad I went with a solid red binding. Love it!.
 Just for fun a few pictures of the quilts on my bed. My favorite string quilt with the yo-yo quilt at the end of the bed.
 I love this yo-yo quilt and I'm thinking of starting another one. I sewed random yo-yos on a quilted white piece of fabric. It is fun to make the yo-yos with the yo-yo maker.
Happy quilting until next time,
Millie
