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...

Congratulations on another finish! I had to look and look to figure out the "mistake" in the top row. I think it looks fine! The backing is so fun and the variegated binding finishes it nicely! I will be looking forward to the box you forgot about to see what treasures you found.
Lovely quilt, no one will even notice the one row is upside down. Unless they're a quilter, they will assume it was supposed to be that way. I'm glad you are still able to quilt, we had single digits here this morning. Happy stitching!
