Squint Your Eyes

I’ve finished the quilting on the quilt from the quilt top cup board that I posted on Dec.3, 2009.  At that time I posted it as Robbing Peter to Pay Paul, but since found the same quilt listed as Squint Your Eyes.

This top was pin basted and I didn’t know how I’d like that because I use a big hoop to quilt with. I thought the pins might get in the way?

I just removed the pins as I went along and it worked out fine.  Whoever did the pin basting did a great job of it. The backing and top were smooth and even with no puckers anywhere.

A couple of the blocks in the very center had been quilted.  I removed that so I could use my own plan for quilting.

Once I got to the outer edges I could see that there was enough backing and batting there for me to add a border..so I did. It allowed me to make the quilt a bit bigger.

I love this quilt! :)
