Bricks & Stepping Stones -- September OMG Complete

 Yes, I waited until the last possible day of September to finish my Bricks & Stepping Stones quilt.  This pattern can be found on the free patterns tab on Bonnie Hunter's blog here.


I longarm quilted it using my Circle Lord giant template board called Stars and Swirls.  I did not use the star... just the swirls.  In between the swirls I did some freehand loops.   I really like the effect.  I LOVE the red/white striped fabric I chose for the binding.  It really brings that Christmassy look home.

I made a pieced back using a bunch of my Christmas florals and prints.  I got a lot of these at a garage sale years ago.  Some of them were given to me.  They landed perfectly here.


I'm linking up for the finish party for the OMG challenge at Elm Street Quilts here.  Whew.  That was a little closer to the deadline than what I like it to be.  Cross another project off my list none the less.

Kathy, you did an awesome job on the quilt and it’s completion.

Well, that turned out cute and a half! I really love the idea of using old Christmas fabrics up on the back. I have some old chunks that would do well on a back. Congrats on a great finish!
