This quilt was made from scraps that were left from an earlier quilt. Obviously I must overbuy fabric when I can do that. Although, the white was added to the mix to make it stretch. Even then it didn't stretch too far. The quilt is about 55 x 65 -- big enough to snuggle in for a nap but for a bed it would only fit a toddler size at most.
Nothing fancy happening on the back - but I do love the cherry fabric I found on sale.
So far I'm 11 for 11 -- thanks to Judy at Patchwork Times for the motivation!
The project I originally chose for December will wait for another year. It's funny -- I had hoped this would be the one that would wait and be chosen in December, thinking I would have time to do a little bit on it every month. That never happened, and I do have "the brown quilt" that really needs to be quilted. I'll swap that in for December and hope I can end the year 12 for 12!
Lovely! I really like that black/red/white combination. 11/12 UFOs is fantastic! I need to finish three more to make my goal, but two of them are pretty easy, so maybe...
ReplyDeleteBest of luck in December! :o)
Wonderful little quilt - I love this challenge - are you getting UFO's together for the next 2012 challenge? Judy C
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! And fantastic job with 11/11 UFOs finished! My #12 has the same story except that I DID find time to work on it before this month! That will just allow me more time to dig deeply into my piles of "stuff" and find those UFOs that need more attention for the challenge in 2012. Uh oh!
ReplyDeleteI'm thrilled for you that you've been able to accomplish so much this year. Way to go Carol!

A very nice finish. I really like the narrow red border and the red binding to hold it all together (visually as well as practically).
ReplyDeleteI really was attracted to your photo of all the mr. Linkys....just love a red/white/blue combo and yours is a beauty! Love from In, bonnie
ReplyDeleteA lovely finish--your fabrics look great together, and how cool that they were scraps! I overbuy/overcut too, but my leftovers never seem to turn into anything except UFO's! :)
ReplyDeleteWow, 11 for 11! I am impressed. Congrats on another finish and your quilt is lovely.
ReplyDeleteGreat finish! Beautiful quilt, it reminds me of the fourth of July.
