Oh, you are looking at the back of these panels. And yes, the back of every quilt I make looks just like these - neat, threads trimmed, pressed, and flat.

wow......now that is pretty abnormal!
ReplyDeleteSuper name colours. When my Mum did her sewing, it was also just as neat, and I still have a tablecloth that she would have embroidered before 1937, the threads are a little worn, but, again, front and back are equally neat. The barn quilt, I truly hope it will be as loved for as many years as my tablecloth.
ReplyDeleteYes, I still remember my grandmother's admonition that the back of my embroidery should look just as good as the front. :-) My sewing machine has a thread cutter and that goes a long way towards neat backs but my quilt backs still don't look as good as yours.
ReplyDeletePat's grandmother and my grandmother must have been twins separated at birth - If I heard that admonition once, I heard it 1,000 (or more) times! BUT--Tidy quilt top backs absolutely make for cleaner looking finished quilts AND happy long arm or otherwise quilters.
