Quilting the Farmall Scenes Quilt

 

Quilting Farmall Scenes Quilt

 Quilting has begun on the Farmall Scenes quilt for grandson Warren.

View from the window of my quilting studio this evening.

Farmall Scenes Backing

 The backing for the Farmall Scenes quilt is together, pressed, and ready to be loaded on the quilting frame.  I used every speck of the barn fabric, and all but a few small scraps of the red fabric.  It's just barely big enough, and I had to add some throw-away fabric to the sides and the top for the clamps to fasten onto.  If there's any of the barn and red fabrics left at the bottom of the quilt when I'm done quilting it, I will use it in the pillow I plan to make, using the extra appliquéd tractor block.

Farmall Scenes Flimsy Done

 The Farmall Scenes flimsy is done.  It measures 82" x 82".  There wasn't enough red fabric to make mitered corners on the tractor border, so I sewed in blue corner blocks -- and discovered I like it better that way anyway.  Now to put together a backing for it.  (As you can see, the quilt has outgrown my library floor! I'll coax Larry into power-washing the back deck when the quilt is all done. 😉 )

Farmall Scenes Quilt Top Center Together

 The Farmall Scenes quilt top is together.  As you can see, I changed the location of the cow; I didn't really like it smack-dab in the middle.  I'm much more pleased with it, a row down and a row over.  Next, the borders, which will include the appliquéd tractors.
