Finally a Finish
Finally a finish – it always feels good to say those words, doesn’t it? It’s been quite awhile since I’ve finished a larger quilt, so I’m excited to show this to you today.
My Squiggles quilt is from a quilt along a year (or two?) hosted by Christa Watson. For my quilt, I used Alison Glass Sunprint fabrics with an Alison Glass text fabric. The saturated colors in her fabrics just glow, don’t they? It definitely made sewing all those folded corners more fun, since I had all those pretty colors to look at.
Here’s a close up of the background text fabric, also Alison Glass. You can see Connie’s wonderful quilting, in squiggles, of course!
The background fabric looks like multi-colored confetti. I thought it was perfect for this quilt. It makes me think of a celebration. I finished it off with a multi-colored striped binding. Both of the fabrics came from Bernie at Needle & Foot. In case you didn’t see it above, here’s that fun rolled quilt photo again!
One more view of this lap quilt, with its bright, happy colors.
So – finally a finish! Linking up today with Tish at The Madd Quilter for her UFO Busting Linky Party.

As always another bright and cheerful quilt. What do you do with your quilts when they are finished? I struggle to find good homes for mine now that everyone I know and love has been gifted at least one.

nice quilt always so nice to have a finish isn’t it. Looks like you have a nice deck to be on when the weather warms up for you although on cool days sometimes I sit on the porch with jacket on for 10 minutes or so just breath fresh air!

Testing testing getting ready to give my I’d again. I thought this quilt was finished at the same time the Sistas were.

That is pretty, Wendy! A very happy finish! It is always a good feeling to have something “finally finished.” I definitely have a few quilt tops that are waiting their turn for that designation!

I love this colorful quilt with the saturated Alison Glass fabrics and the low volume text background. And that colorful striped binding is the icing on the cake.
