Recently my friend Sylwia 2 visited my blog, thanks to which I was able to visit friends. Writing a blog is challenging if you do it regularly. So, sometimes it is good to have a helping hand. Thank to this help, today I can tell you about my finished, and already gifted, bedcover. I wrote about its beginnings here<\/a>. I ended my previous post writing about how I quilted the second corner of the bedcover. In meantime, I changed the length of my hair and visited an exhibition in \u017byrard\u00f3w. So, there was something going on.<\/p>\n\n\n

Now I can show further progress and the final result.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

I was planning to quilt it with big meanders, but at some point, I realized that maniacally I quilted it thick.  Force of habit, I guess. So quilting the background too much longer that I thought.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Once I was done, I could not believe my own eyes, when my long-arm showed that I made almost two million stiches. Now I know why it took so long.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

I have a rule that I never wash my quilts after I am done. I do not have enough space to spread them out to dry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Therefore, the most difficult part was to clean up the erasable pen from the finished bedspread. First<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I cleaned it with a wet cotton swab, it disappeared, but as the patchwork dried, blue streaks reappeared here and there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This time I had to wash it, somehow. I hung up the bedspread (with no binding yet) on a clothesline in the sun and sprayed it very hard with water. Thanks to the sun it dried quickly, and the blue marks disappeared. Unfortunately, I had to repeat this a few times until they were all gone for good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When it was completely dry, I had to trim it to the right size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s good that my husband recently made an additional tabletop in my studio. Without it, it would have been extremely hard to neatly trim this colossus.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Photos taken quickly. No final ironing. Size 240\/240 cm. Now I regret,<\/em> I didn’t iron it before taking photos.<\/p>\n\n\n
