You don’t hear much about quilt finishes on this blog, do you?
Finished Quilt
It was finished Sunday but it was so windy, I couldn’t get a good picture. Yesterday . . I’m not sure what happened yesterday . . maybe I just forgot but this morning, I thought there was no wind so I took the quilt out to hang on the clothes line and just about the time I snapped the photo, here came a little breeze.
Finished Quilt
I stood there, shivering in the near freezing temps, reminding myself that it will be 80º again on Saturday, and finally the wind stopped enough that I was able to get a better picture.
This is a quilt that I think I started while we were in MO but I didn’t take the time to go back and look. It’s been quilted for a while and just needed binding. There are about 8 tops that are already quilted that are waiting for binding so my goal is to get those finished. That will give me at least a little sense of accomplishment .. I hope.
Glad to have this one finished. Not sure if it will be given away, donated or used here at home but . . it’s finished and that’s good.

OH, I thought you turned back a corner to show the backing!
Julia says
Woohoo! A quilt finish! Although I love your blog no matter what you post, I found you through quilting and I so miss your quilting related posts! ????

Lovely quilt! The colors are wonderful. The lining is a nice extra punch. I am glad the wind showed it to us. We have your wind in South Carolina now and it is cold. I vote we forget winter and summer and live in spring and fall. I may need a bit of summer to grow tomatoes.

Well done! A finish is a finish, right? I look forward to seeing seven more lovely quilts from the past. Part of the reason I don’t count yardage out until I finish the binding is so I don’t end up with a stack of “almost” finished quilts.
Karen says
very nice – I was beginning to think you were no longer doing any quilting 🙂
JudyL says
I kinda was beginning to think the same thing!
Vivian Oaks says
Ooooo! I absolutely love the pattern & the fabrics! That is gorgeous!! Love it!!! Love it!!!
SaraF says
I think it’s stunning – and I love the small print in that light background. Great finish! And I’m sure it is very satisfying to get that binding done.
I have 2 quilts needing binding too. But for me the holdup is usually at getting a top quilted since I have to hire it done, except for a few baby quilts.
Quilterbee says
Very nice, Judy. I bet it felt great when you put that last stitch in.
Meloney says
It is beautiful.
That should help your stash numbers. 🙂
JudyL says
I count the top once it’s quilted so all I get to add is for the binding.
Carole says
Very nice! I really like the effect of the offset triangles in the border. I’m trying to make a huge dent in my stash and this looks like a pattern that I’ll try. Thanks for the inspiration.
susan says

Joan B. says
Yea! Can’t wait until Sunday to see the numbers!
Diana in RR,TX says
Always nice to chalk one up as finished!! Love the quilt. I have the same problem here with the wind. It can be very calm, Galen and I will head out to take a picture or two of a finished top-up comes the wind! Never fails! in the 40’s and drizzling here, n0t a nice day to be out. But we did get to see a flock of 11 white pelicans on our pond this morning, eating and resting up for their trip north!
Lee says
That’s a very lovely quilt. After working on Bonnie Hunter’s very busy, scrappy mystery quilt for months, it’s nice to lay my eyes on the calm, soothing abilities of a two-color quilt :). I first came to your blog because of quilts and have been missing seeing them, though I do enjoy your every day life posts too (well, maybe all but the knitting – I’m not a knitter) so you won’t lose me as a reader because I know your quilts will still pop up here and there! I think the lightly wind-blown touch in the one photo makes for a nice bit of dramatic action which adds more life to the photo.
Laura says
Wish I lived nearby – I’d finish those bindings for you! I love doing the binding. 🙂 Great quilt.
Joyce says
I like the fact that the wind gave us a little peek of the backing! A very pretty quilt.
kim webb says
Beautiful.
I was looking through the new issue of Quiltmaker last night and saw a sneak peak of “Jeweled sky” coming in the next 100 block quilts magazine. Can’t wait to see that one also.
JudyL says
I just got that quilt back and it’s beautiful! Hope you enjoy it!
Norma says
I really like this one, Judy. Very graphic and pretty.
AmyM says
LOVE it!
Dar in MO says
I love this 2 color quilt. You always make quilts that appeal to me. That pieced border really sets it off well. I will look forward to seeing those other 7 finished in the coming months. I like doing the bindings, so I usually don’t have them waiting in that pile. Mine are languishing in the “to be quilted” pile.
Nann says
Congratulations on a fine finish, Judy. Hope it signals the return of your quilting mojo.
Amy (Waunaknit) says
Ohhhh, pretty! Love the colors.
Andrea says
Love the colors! So pretty!
