The Lorax Quilt is Finished

I started this Lorax quilt quilt ages ago. I quilted it as planned with the Zephyr, panto that looks like the Truffula trees .. and then it just hung out on the quilt frame like clothes on a tread mill for months! Finally during my unexpected break from work I got around to putting the binding on it.

I suppose it is controversial to quilt right over the Lorax but I don’t think it matters to him. Think of it as a screen overlay and don’t worry about adding a panto over a panel. I think it works just fine.

Progress!

I have made some progress on two quilts in the last week or so.

I finished my Midnight in Bali quilt top and have quilted it. I used an edge to edge pantograph called Big Leaf which I think suits the batik fabrics. I have taken photos of it, but I must admit that I still have not attached the binding! I promise I will finish this quilt! I have the binding cut out, but wanted to get outside and take photos in the snow before it melts … it is Spring, the snow must melt!

I also put a quilt top together with the Lorax panel. It might be a bit too abstract? But, I do like it. I have a perfect panto for this one, too. It is called Zephyr, but it reminds me of the Truffula trees!
