Presentation Cases
I didn't do much over the weekend; however, I did make presentation cases for four Quilts of Valor. The Tube/Sausage Pillowcase technique makes a nice case with no exposed seams if a French seam is used for the side and bottom. I like the French seam because it gives the case a nice finish. Written directions for the case are available here.
These four cases were made from the last bits of the striped and "America" fabrics, and the contrasting trim is binding remnants from previous quilts.
Larger pieces of the striped fabric were used as a backing for Controlled Spin and as binding for Ribbons of Valor.
Nice work!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! I really like the flag fabric.
ReplyDeleteYour "I didn't do much this week-end" would be a could accomplishment for me:) These are really nice.
ReplyDeleteI do like this pillow case technique. It is such a nice finish. I used to wonder why people used good quilting fabric to make these, and now I know. When I find something on sale that will make a good pillow case I snap up several yards of it!
ReplyDeleteVery nice! Pretty fabrics and it feels so good to be using them up, doesn't it? g
ReplyDeleteThese are great Nancy. I think you accomplished quite a bit this weekend.
ReplyDeleteOkay... it must be me...are these actually pillowcases?? Presentation Cases??
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking they hold the quilts?
I do not think that qualifies as not doing much this weekend, and for a great cause.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cases! Enjoyed the tutorial :)
ReplyDeleteYour presentation cases make the quilt even more special and a great way to store the quilts. Good job!
