This evening, I finished my friend Sherri's Nursery Rhyme quilt, which is for her new little granddaughter, Lily Joy. Her daughter Kristin did the exquisite hand embroidery, which is a vintage iron-on set of Aunt Martha's, and Sherri put the quilt top together. Those lavender squares have a lily-of-the-valley print -- perfect, for a baby named Lily! Lily Joy is my great-great-niece.
The quilt measures 52" x 71". The batting is Hobbs Heirloom 80/20. I used Bright White 40-wt. Omni thread on top and Silver 60-wt. Bottom Line thread in the bobbin. The quilting is rulerwork and free-motion. The last photo shows the problem bottom border, smooshed into subjection with starch and a hot iron (see yesterday's post for the before shot).
