Sawtooth star quilt
Fabrics used were mainly from two fat quarter bundles, which complemented each other. I really should record the fabrics I use. As I go along with the blog, I will get better at those sort of details, I'm sure. They weren't recent fabric collections, I can tell you that much.
Finished size: 49" x 59" (125cm x 150cm)
Backing was pieced from fat quarters left over from the quilt front's fat quarter bundles, as well as some other complementary fabrics, and one spare block. And I had just enough of the perfect binding fabric. (I wish I had more of that fabric, it has been great in so many quilts.)
I machine quilted this relatively heavily and am sort of happy with it. I ran out of top thread twice! so was not happy with the third colour I used. With the quilting, the top shrunk by at least an inch each way.
I finished the final stitches to the binding last night, as we head off on holidays today, and I wanted it done. I'm taking some hand stitching with me on the holiday, not sure if I will get much done but it is there, just in case, with my good portable rechargeable light.
No fabric tally in this blog as I actually recorded the fabric used in this quilt back last year! Naughty of me as my intention is that fabric use is not recorded until the item is a finish.
