At last I’ve finished the Kimono Quilt. I had to wait ages to find somewhere to baste it as it’s really too big to baste at home. Anyway now it’s done.The images below show where I machine quilted on either side of the seams to stabilise it, then I tied it in the middle of the Kimonos and then big-stitch hand quilted the borders.
And then I rewarded myself by making these yummy muffins and eating them while they were hot!
Truly you amaze me with all you produce. I have a picture of you sewing day an night to get so much done. Congratulations and thanks for sharing with us. I will be closing off my internet on Sunday 9th October and going up north and not returning until November 20th. My husband is tutoring at the college in Exmouth and I am taking up my sewing machine and two big black garbage bags of my off cuts hoping to make inroads into them. Should get a few quilt tops done, well hopefully. Catch you when I get back. Regards, Helen V
Thanks Helen. I’ll miss your lovely comments. I’ll be interested to see your “away” quilts when you get back. Have fun!
Really lovely job, you ought feel really proud of it and you deserved the muffins.
Lovely finish as usual. I especially love the kimono on the back. I like pieced backs. Those muffins do look yummy! Have one more for me.

It’s beautiful and I love the way you’ve quilted and finished it. Absolutely love the back … cheers, Cait
I love the variety of different styles you try, you’re very adventurous…cheers Julie
Looks great Munaiba! I like the back too. And I think I can smell the muffins.
Love the quilt and the back is amazing. I really like the way you used different types of quilting. What a great birthday gift.
It looks gorgeous! I especially love the back. How large is it? Have you tried Sharon Schamber’s basting method? It’s been a lifesaver for me in my tiny apartment. 🙂
Hi there
Thanks for your comment. I have used Sharon Schamber’s method and found several problems with it. I have adapted her method and found that easier but still my table isn’t large enough. You can see the relevant blog post if you like:
