This is to document my love of and obsession with fabric and quilts! The true, guilty story of buying "just a little bit more", of shopping at thrift stores for the extra large mens shirts to use in your next quilt..and yes..even eyeing up your best friends blouse wondering if she'd notice if you "borrowed" it and just how many 2 inch strips you could get out of it!

First March UFO finish!
I just finished the hand sewing on the binding on my Scrappy Mountains quilt. This is definitely my favorite of the quilts I have made. I wish you could see this one in real life. The colors are so much more vibrant. It is the biggest one to date for me, also. It is 85 x 93. Now I have to decide what to do with it. I have 2 people who have expressed an interest in buying it, but I have no idea what to price it at. The other option is to gift it or donate it. My gut says to gift it to my daughter and her husband, but it is also big enough for my 2 oldest sons who are both over 6 feet tall. Sigh...decisions..decisions.
Well, tomorrow will be pinning my friend's quilt and then starting to quilt it. Not sure what is next on the agenda..I just know I am going to keep up this pace until I get more of these UFO's done!!

It is beautiful! And I say if it is your favorite, then keep it in the family.
ReplyDeleteLove it - I would keep this in the family, too!
ReplyDeleteLooks great!!! I would also keep it in the family! Congrats on another finish!! You are just rockin' our UFO challenge!! :)
ReplyDeleteI love it. A wonderful pattern. Make another then both boys can have one.
ReplyDeleteOh my, that is one beautiful quilt. Pat yourself on the back -- well done! And, I actually like those bright (bring on the sun glasses) type of quilts. Are you doing the next mystery? I'm still deciding. B.
ReplyDeleteKeep in the family, sometimes you just have to have one of your own around. The hard decision will be deciding which of them should you share it with.
