A Chevron Finish!

Duke got his own quilted scarf today!

There were a couple of Chasing Chevrons blocks left over from

this QAL over at That Girl..That Quilt.

Making this scarf gave me a chance to try spray basting for the first time which I loved! I used Dritz (purchased at JoAnns by Santa!) and it worked great.  I also got the feel of quilting through the chevron seams (there are lots of them pressed back there) before I quilt my actual Chasing Chevrons Quilt that I blogged about here.

Here is the back.  I wrapped the ends for extra long ties and tacked the fabric down.  I could barely get it under my needle so tacking was the only option.

Ready???

Ta-da!  My handsome boy in his new scarf.  I think the colors look great against his black fur. :)

Look how THRILLED he is to model it!

It needs to be washed, it's still a little stiff.

With a little shrinkage it will be just right!  Wait 'til the other dogs at the dog park see this....

It's Finish it Up Friday over at crazymomquilts and I'll be linking up!  Also at Quilted Euphoria's It's Finally Friday..see her button in my sidebar and go check out other finishes!
