I purchased the fabric for this quilt long before I had any idea what I wanted to do with it! I just loved the purple and the sheep.
Not long after that, my husband was sketching sheep on his sketch pad one day, and I just knew I had to have them! They were so cute! So I scanned them and started tracing.
I love bias binding! In fact, its the only kind I ever use. I actually have some reasons for this! I know people think that bias binding is harder than straight binding, but I actually find it to be much easier. Bias binding is more forgiving, and I have fewer problems with bumps, etc. than I do with a straight binding. Bias bindings also wear better than straight bindings. Straight bindings tend to wear with the grain, which is on the edge of the quilt.
One of the things I love most about designing quilts is seeing them in different fabrics! I love seeing other peoples’ ideas and colors in my design. This quilt was made by my good friend, Mary Christensen.
