Finished up a UFO just now. It was one I started years ago. I took a class at the Quilt Corner with Judy Tate and she had designed a Row Quilt out of beautiful bright tone on tone fabrics. I had this in my stash and decided to use steel blue and beige rose prints. I had the top finished for about a year and it was sandwiched and just sitting there.
When I got into quilting it I realized that a corner of the backing was chunked out for some reason. So I pulled a piece of green that was a similar tone with roses and made a Y seam adding that to fill in the gap.
The added bonus is the beautiful day we had here. 60's temps made it a perfect spring day. So I sat in the back yard, yelling at DiNozzo for chewing up all the sticks he could find and swallowing them for the 2 1/2 hours that I worked. And I had to keep flicking the caterpillars off me and the quilt as well.I hope you enjoy the pictures of the quilt and the beautiful day and the back yard we work so hard in every week!
glen: see the new goldfish on the fence Frank bought me today? He is looking at the quilt and going: Blub! What a blub blub quilt!
What a gorgeous quilt and looks like you had a gorgeous day as well. Puppy heaven for Di Nozzo with all those sticks too I bet! Happy stitching!
ReplyDeleteThe goldfish is cute! Great finish! I haven't finished last month's UFO#1. It took all month to decided on the center and then find more black to match when I ran out. UFO#1 is my grandson's graduation quilt so it has to be finished by end of May.
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is gorgeous. I love love it. And your back yard looks relaxing.

Love the backyard - every backyard needs a goldfish. Frank has a very artistic eye for detail. The quilt is pretty - why was it a UFO? Sticks, huh, I wish you would take better care of my dog.
