Throwback Thursday

Apparently, everyone is doing a thing on social media to show what they were doing ten years ago. Who knew I was “on trend” when I shared last Thursday! So for good measure, here is another post from ten years ago. Enjoy!

Finish It Up Friday ~ General Grant’s Bowties

Posted on January 22, 2016 by katyquilts

And it’s done!  I think…..
Here are a few close ups of the quilting. I used Superior Monopoly in the center panel.


I kinda wish I had done a close crosshatch over the center panel. I’ve been debating ripping out and requiring this section.



Here are my borders.

 
I haven’t washed this yet. I quilted too heavily in the brown border compared to the center and it causes the middle of the quilt to poof out a bit. That’s making me want to add more quilting there, hence my hesitance to wash yet.

That white bit showing on the binding is snow. Yuck!
