So, this month, I plan on quilting, trimming and binding this piece. This one is for Kevin’s nightstand. These three dog bones are tied to him. The middle one is Ohio State, of course. We (especially Kev) are Ohio State fans. The light colored plain one is actually a shirt he wore that got a tear in it in a place that could not be easily repaired. Since it was a nice shirt and 100% cotton, I figured what the heck. Then the last dog bone is dog bone fabric. I have turned him into a dog lover, so it is appropriate. Not a big giant project like last month, but still something that needs finished. I am still piecing the one for my nightstand and then one for his dresser. I did not use the cling wrap like last time. I created a template and traced my dog bones on it. Seems way better than trying to pick plastic out for hours like I did for the last piece.
Happy Sewing

Never heard of using plastic wrap. I’ll have to go back and read about it. Cute runner though.

It is the cling wrap that is sort of sticky, but leaves no residue. I drew my design on it and then quilted. It was a bit difficult to get off, but I had a tightly quilted design. It may work better on something that is a larger design.

I really like the borders, they look like half hexies…are they? Nice to have a story with the fabrics!

They are 1/3 hexies. Just enough to be seen after you put on binding.

I made a hexi quilt once. It was half hexies though and machine sewn together. Turned out good enough for a gift so can’t complain 🙂 Thanks for the follow!
