When I first saw the Timeless Treasures Central Park Quilt kit for sale in the US, I had to pick it up. It reminded me of the sun shining through our Atlanta backyard trees. Then, it sat in my fabric stash for a couple years as I hesitated starting it with a fear of sewing curves.
Timeless Treasures Central Park Quilt Top
Last year, I visited my in-laws for a week, where my MIL showed me that curves are a piece of cake. I finished the quilt top (made a little smaller to be a wall hanging), and then left it for a few more months to be quilted.
Dallas is quilting curves
I finally discovered that quilting on my machine is relatively easy – when using Pfaff’s Integrated Dual Feed. I quilted it following the curves – the fanciest quilting I’ve done yet (aka: not completely straight). :) Add a quick binding, a wall hanging sleeve, and it’s done!
Finished Mini Timeless Treasures Central Park Quilt
This is my mini Timeless Treasures Central Park Quilt, measuring at 50×43 inches. I used my extra fabric from the kit to make a patchwork back and do the binding. Now, I just need to figure out where to hang it.
