I tried french knot ties in the corners but I didn't like the look of them. I've washed it (Fabulon smell yuck) and it's held up OK.I may do some hand quilting around some of the squares at some stage (but I've sort of moved on if you know what I mean)...I will probably try this again but I'll wait till I replace my ancient machine and get a rotary cutter etc...in the meantime I'll stick to knitting with all the yarn I have laying around ; )Anki and Sassahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16316897756521834674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8880246121863001587.post-88250865920643379802010-09-25T21:37:30.226+08:002010-09-25T21:37:30.226+08:00It's handmade & the intent is beautiful. ...It's handmade & the intent is beautiful. If you really, really wanted to make it "quilted" you could do some hand ties with yarn through the layers. I'm sure you have some yarn laying around that would do, right? :)The quilting keep the layers from shifting around, for practical purposes. I'm sure it will be all fine!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8880246121863001587.post-63997573077298030862010-09-18T09:07:06.930+08:002010-09-18T09:07:06.930+08:00It's Munns Smart Grass (seeds from Bunnings) i...It's Munns Smart Grass (seeds from Bunnings) it's arid tolerant etc. It's great! I like soft grass (not Buffalo grass that cuts your legs when you sit on it) and I like to let it get all meadowy looking (not mowed too much). But we can't have anything too water thirsty. Highly recommend it. Thanks for the compliment about the quilt. I do like it lots I just think it's funny that it's not quilted!Anki and Sassahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16316897756521834674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8880246121863001587.post-7925389006310698212010-09-18T08:48:54.563+08:002010-09-18T08:48:54.563+08:00It looks perfectly pretty to me and if Astrid love...It looks perfectly pretty to me and if Astrid loves it that's the main thing. And did you really want it perfectly perfect, I thought we ascribed to the wabi sabi philosophy.<br />Lucky it is for Astrid not Linus with the decapitated deer, I imagine that would bother him (after reading the last post!)<br />By the way your grass looks great! What type did you use mine looks terrible. (1: I think it is in the wrong spot. 2: It gets very little love.)Red Hen (dette)https://www.blogger.com/profile/09620943527844246297noreply@blogger.com
