Another one off the list

I am so pleased with myself to keep true to my promise to not start any new quilts until my UFO's were finished. see the list here

This is my second last quilt on the list and it is finally finished.  

Fabric is Thimbleberries, but found at my local Value Village for bargain.  Never again have I found such a great find. I started this back in 2009 (yikes) and then it sat and sat and waited to be quilted.  Oh there have been many quilts in between, but for some reason it sat. 

 Until..... my friend Andrea at Urban Quiltworks got herself a new long arm machine in March and needed some tops to 'practice' on.   She did a wonderful job of quilting lovely flowing feathers all over and pebbling too.  








I couldn't resist a few pictures of flowers in my garden

  6. Very pretty colors! This gives me hope....I can use my fabric even if it isn't "modern, right now, urban chick designers." I believe if you love the fabric it will be something you love after it's finished as well. This is so beautiful in the garden. Thanks for sharing, and a good quilting job too.

  11. Love the colors in this quilt! I only wish that I had some UFO's. As a new quilter I find it overwhelming to start a new project, especially since I don't have a large stash to choose from yet. I keep making little project but I just need to jump in and start a big quilt again!
