Today I have my happy bright picnic quilt finished!
I've shown you some if this before, as it's been a long project. Mostly because all the colorful Marimekko fabrics were bought over a long period of time as remnants from the 50% off bins. The white fabric is pieces of my grandmothers embroidered sheets from the late 1940's.
And yes I know it pulls a bit in that one corner, but I'm letting it slide. It was very difficult to quilt this with my sewing machine due to the backing...
Which is fabric with a waxy layer on it, so even if the grass is a little wet, you'll be nice and dry.
I love that I could include some history into this one.
I do miss my grandma..
I know I've seen this partially completed and I'm glad that you finished it. Enjoy all the wonderful picnics you'll have with it. It's a beautiful heirloom for your family.
