Back in May I put up a post about a
Christmas table cloth I was working on. The design is a simple checkboard with a "Cockatoo Santa" print:
 |
| The squares are 3" across. |
After assembling the checkboard, I went hunting for fabrics for the borders and binding. I was very lucky to find prints that coordinate beautifully. And for backing, I just used scraps of unbleached muslin - nothing fancy.
 |
| The quilting on the longarm went quickly. |
The binding is a red and white candy-strip. The red doesn't precisely match the red in the checkboard, but it's far enough away that you don't see it.
 |
| All finished! |
There's one thing I would change in this project, and that's the batting. I used polyester for this and it's really a little too stiff. Cotton would have been a better choice, or maybe bamboo. It needs to drape just a little more than it does. But no matter, I'm pleased with it anyway.
