Colored Bar Code Quilt – Finished!

Oct 4, 2009 Quilting

Yep, that’s right. I have a quilt to add to the done pile.

Side A:

Side B:
Side B

I’m really pleased with this quilt. I enjoyed working with all the scraps, sorting by color, and deciding how to arrange them. I did the quilting by myself on my home machine. It’s a simple cross-hatch design. I used my walking foot and guide to space the lines about 2″ apart. If you look closely, you’ll see that the lines aren’t too straight. It adds charm, or at least that’s what I tell myself. I probably won’t make it a habit to quilt quilts this large on my machine. It’s a lot to manage.

The quilt still needs a label. Normally, I sew one onto the back. Some how that seems all wrong with this quilt. I consider Side A the front. Yet, Side B really doesn’t have room for a patch. Right now, I’m leaning towards just writing on a white rectangle. I need to decide before I forget to do it.

Now, I’m on to the next quilt. I still have lot of scraps leftover from this project. I’m trying to put some of them to good use.

    What a fantastic way to line up a Chinese Coins quilt! Hmm, I like the idea of making a label on one of the white rectangles on side B. You could embroider with white thread or an ecru one so that the overall look is maintained. I really like this quilt a lot! Fantastic!
