First Finish of the Year!

I  put the final stitches into the binding of the peony quilt yesterday.  It then went straight to the washer and this is the results.  I love that I used a wool batting as this quilt was made as my cuddle quilt.

      Thanks Tim, that means alot coming from you. Hope you are adapting well to the floor frame. Baptist fans are a great design to do on a floor frame.

    Beautiful! What brand of wool batt did you use? Can't beat wool for a warm quilt.

      I try to use wool in quilts I intend to use on a bed or as a cozy quilt. Thanks for stopping by and the inspiration your blog gives me.

    How did you wash your quilt with the wool batting? Did it shrink up like a cotton batt would? It is a lovely quilt.

      Robin, Thanks for stopping by. I used hobbs wool batt and it is washable as is most that is produced. I just threw it in the washer in warm water and then into the dryer at a regular setting. I found that it shrinks less than cotton, and is oh so warm.
