Antoinette Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 There's just something about those DWR. This is what I started with and because I'm not good at this the finished product is in the next post. Or maybe not. This is as flat as I could get it, and yes Bonnie, there might just be a ton of starch in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antoinette Posted August 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 Here's the finished quilt. It was made from my client's mothers scrap bag. They found it after she passed and he had it finished for his sister. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quiltmonkey Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 Wow, the before and after pictures... I can't believe it! You did a great job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenscratch Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 That looks fabulous. You did a great job. Warn your customer that there is a ton of starch in it, and it will need laundered after the binding is done. I'd hate for the silverfish to eat that beautiful heirloom.
