I started this thing about two years ago, pulling five yards of white-on-white from my stash and gathering up a bunch of red scraps and fat quarters. Reported this busted two years ago. I thought I wanted to make it bigger, but I pondered it this week. I asked Jane one time when I would know a quilt was finished, and she said I'd just know. I added one more row that was already pieced together, and I'll call it finished, approximately 60" square. I pulled 4 yards out of my stash for the backing and binding, which I just finished piecing. That will go on next week's stash report.
I freed up a tub for a BOM.
And I successfully delayed the mitered borders for a while longer! :)
I LOVE it!!!! Someday.....:)
ReplyDeleteLooks great! I love the look of 2 color quilts!
ReplyDeletejust do the miter... it isn't that bad!!
ReplyDeleteIt looks just about finished to me too! I have been getting back into the quilting mood again, I have done some sewing this weekend myself. I think I need to stick to smaller quilts in order to stay focused. I just ordered a pile of Schnibbles patterns, that's about my size.
ReplyDeleteYou quilt looks done to me and you did a great job on it.
ReplyDeleteIt's wonderful to see you sewing again and getting so many projects crossed off of your to finish list.
I love your red and white quilt. Looks like a good size to me. I'm sure you are thrilled to have it nearly done.
ReplyDeleteI love it!!!
ReplyDeleteSomething off the UFO list - well done. I love the red and white.
ReplyDeleteCool quilt Vicky - like it - simply because red is my favorite color too!
ReplyDeleteI'm planning to miter some borders on something this year, I was hoping you were going to be able to tell me the best way to go about it. I think that's a sharp and neat look for a border.
ReplyDeleteI just love red and cream quilts, this one is a beauty!
your work always looks great!
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to say HI ! :)
Hope your new Year is off to a good start !

That looks great. Sometimes a quilt just needs to be a bit smaller than originally planned! I've done that before too. Cheers! Evelyn
ReplyDeleteanytime you can finish something else while you "ponder" the mitered borders is a GOOD thing!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! And I was scrolling down since I missed a lot of posts, and I LOVE your 'funeral quilt!' How amazing that that was your first quilt!
