I will trim and bind it at some future date and get it off to them before Xmas. I need to wash it before I send it so I can gt the paper from the fleur di lis out from under the stitches.
Talk about fabrics that are great for hiding your stitching line! Wow....
So, do you wash a quilt when it is done or do you let the new owner decide when to wash it?
I really need to get a better place to take pictures of finished quilts.......

I think you should gift it to them in a brown paper bag with eye holes cut in it !!! (inside joke for saints fans)...
ReplyDeleteI told ray he needs to put a line up for me to hang quilts from
ReplyDeleteI like this one!
ReplyDeleteI like em washed, they get all crinkly and snuggly.
ReplyDeleteThat blog header with the dog skeleton is starting to freak me out- maybe you can put something cruise shippy or Argentina like?
Maybe captain Stuebing dancing with Charo?
Richard put up a clothes line from one catabula tree to another so I can take pictures of quilts, but it requires finding, dragging and climbing on a ladder. Every time. So I gave Richard a new ladder for Christmas. It was perfect. Of course it got borrowed, and I am back to the rickety thing that scares the dickens out of me. I'm thinking a new ladder this Christmas and a lock for the shed door.
ReplyDeleteI love a washed quilt but I don't always wash them. This one is extra nice, and anything that hides stitching gets extra points!
The quilt is beautiful! Sometimes I wash, sometimes I don't.
ReplyDeleteDitto for me, sometimes I wash and sometimes I don't.....depends mainly on how close to the gifting deadline I'm running! ;-)
