This sofa quilt is the ultimate stash buster. The fabrics are all leftover from the sampler I made this winter. It was quickly pieced. Hand quilting done in the ditch and 1/4" outside the ditch. Borders hand quilted with 2" cross hatching. The 1/4" echoing and cross hatching were also used in the sampler quilt.
I received 12 large blocks appliqued, embroidered and hand quilted. This project had been started by a lovely Maine woman in the 1970's in Georgia Bonsteel's quilt as you go method.
First the front sashing fabric is sewed together in rows.
The batting is trimmed and whip stitched together.
The backing seam is hand sewed.
A cable was hand quilted centered over the sashing seam.
