Yea baby!

 I'm on fire! Not only is the back of the quilt assembled the whole thing is finished!!




Here's my Swarm.
I really like this quilt, the points where super annoying to line up but I think it looks really good.


I choose to do different white prints rather than just one print or solid fabric, in person it adds a nice detail without making the quilt too busy looking - something I'm definitely going to keep in mind for future quilts







Next was basting the whole thing togethers, not my favourite step. I don't have space in my room so I need to do it at the dining room table and I have to wait for my family to be out so they don't get in the way - which took a couple of days!






I used both spray and pins to baste it together which is lucky because I didn't have enough pins to secure it properly - they are being used in a different project.








I choose to do simple diagonal line quilting because its quick and I really didn't want to slow myself down by making it over complicated - not that I can do complicated quilting, I really don't have the patients for it.

Squaring it all up was really easy because it already had built in lines I could use as guides so I managed to square it up and sew on the binding all in one afternoon - like I said I am on FIRE!







Its currently 9pm and chucking it down raining so there's no chance I can get a decent picture, hopefully it stops raining and I can get one tomorrow.


The thing I love most about this quilt?..... it cost nothing. Everything I used I already had.
The HST where left over from another quilt (which is the next thing I want to finish), the back was a quilt top I had to finish putting together, I frankensteined the batting out of bits I had left over from other projects, the binding was fabric from my stash... I spend zero pounds on this whole thing. 


Edit: Finished!
