Rainbow Ribbons is a Finish

 Rainbow Ribbons is finished.  It is being held by my lovely assistant.


I found the perfect backing fabric for this one.  The rainbow binding I made for my baskets quilt, but I didn't get the right feeling for it on that.  I think it works great for this one!  Here's the back:


I like the texture of the Circle Lord giant templant board called Wanders.  It quilts quickly too!

When I got up to look at my blog feed of the ones I read regularly, I looked at my quilt and realized that the top row is UPSIDE down!  Bummer.  Well, at this point I had already put a black border around the edge, made a back, AND loaded it onto the longarm frame.  Too late...  It's staying this way.  I'm sure it will still make a nice comfort quilt for someone.  Design choice.

This is a blast from the past.  This was a guild project.  We would make circles and applique them onto a square.  Then we could cut them into quarters and sew them back together.  I know this was abandoned because the pieces didn't match perfectly.  This was a group project that ended up in my take-home bin because I was ambitious back then.  LOL.  Now it waits to meet a back and be quilted.  I already have rainbow binding made that I didn't use on my baskets quilt.  Glad I found a place for that.

I'm super thrilled how many I finished this quarter.  I'm digging through some older ufo's that I I have worked on over 13 years ago.  Many will make great comfort quilts.  I've added some new projects too because sometimes I just can't resist a fun squirrel.  I recently found a box that I totally forgot about.  I'll be showing off those tops at the beginning of the year for the Winter goal.  Hope the weather/heat situation continues to hold out in the quilt room.  My husband has been working on some projects in that house and running the furnace there.  So far so good...
