I'm happy to say I was able to finish my Allitaire, binding included by 6pm last night so it will go for my September UFO finish. I started this quilt back in 2015 when the mystery came out and then put it aside once I had it together. Then my sister saw it and decided she wanted it but it took until this last month for my to finally have time to finish it. I custom quilted it using 4 different threads. I'm very happy how well it came out but I have a feeling I made this quilt back before I started starching and pressing my fabrics as I noticed some of the rust colored fabrics bled onto the creme colored fabrics. I told my sister when she goes to wash it for the first time to definitely use a color catcher.

This will make my 12th finish for the yea

I'm including closeup photos to show the quilting and then the backing which I just happened to have on hand so I didn't have to buy anything for this quilt since I used mostly scraps for the front and the backing I must have ordered for another quilt and then never used it. Just barely had enough as this quilt came out at 91.5 x 105.5
