This is the second top I pieced from my Celtic Solstice blocks -- it will be a teaching sample so I originally intended to just set the 9 blocks together, but once I got going and found this cute novelty print in my stash for the borders, I just kept sewing!
Yesterday dawned sunny but too cold to be outside much so I layered the little top up and quilted it. Today I stitched on the binding and this evening, I'll do the hand stitching.
My first finish for February! And all 4 3/8 yards used came off my shelves!!
Bring on the skiers!!
Linking up over at Link-a-Finish Friday!
Looks good. I think doing a small version sounds like a good plan for as intricate as her mysteries are!
ReplyDeleteI actually ended up with two quilts from the blocks I made -- one used 15 blocks and will be donated to my charity quilt group for our children's project and this one will be a sample for my basic template class using Marti Michell's templates to help quilters understand when and how to apply the templates to patterns.
DeleteVery pretty Mary... Quite an opening ceremony... Time to get lots of stitching done. Congrats on your first February finish!
ReplyDeleteBinding is done, Karen!! Quite a ceremony for sure -- my favorite part was the end with the swirling "jellyfish" -- reminded me of the dancing mushrooms in Disney's Fantasia!
