Finished one for me!
 
6 Attachment(s)
I finished this quilt back in the summer, it was on my 2013 UFO list. I'm just now getting time to post photos. This was a mystery quilt I did with my guild THREE years ago and the top has been sitting in a Rubbermaid tub ever since. I don't know the pattern, I'm pretty sure it was designed by our guild president that year.

I had fallen in love with the big floral print in the borders and chose the rest of the fabrics based on that one print. I wasn't really sure what I was going to do with it when it was finished, figured I'd probably gift it someday so was only making a throw size. The day I had the blocks done and was laying them out on our bed (since I had no design wall at the time) my husband came in and said, "Wow, is that one for us? I really like it." Now when MY husband says he likes something, he means it. So I went straight back and made a whole bunch more blocks so it could became a queen size quilt. The first bed quilt I've ever made for us! We sleep under it every night.

I used leftover strips for the back, kinda wish I had saved enough of them to make a matching throw.

Beautiful quilt, quilting and backing!

Beautiful quilt and quilting. I really like that border print. I have taken several quilts to keep for our bed. I always make pillow covers to go with those quilts. Don't want to mess with shams.

jojosnana 11-14-2013 10:57 AM

Love it! The front is so eye catching and the back is clever. Enjoy.

Beautiful, love the quilting too!

gabeway 11-15-2013 05:10 AM

Awesome job!

Todie's Mom 11-15-2013 05:46 AM

It is simply gorgeous. Looks much better when you can see the whole quilt. I love the pattern and, have been lucky enough to see the actual fabric when the quilt was in progress. Your FMQ is really getting professional especially since you are doing this on a domestic machine.

great quilt-nice to get those ufo's done.

Iraxy 11-15-2013 06:48 AM

It's awesome! and finished, what can be better?

deplaylady 11-15-2013 08:39 AM

I really like the quilt and the way you finished it. I have a couple mystery quilts tucked away that needs finishing, and a few that were finished and claimed. This last one is going to be MINE! Glad you got one for yourself and your husband loves it and you get to use it every night. Beautiful quilt, a well deserved present for you and your husband.

Snooze2978 11-15-2013 09:56 AM

Great looking quilt. Love how you used the cutoffs from the corners to add to the outer border. Very nice!!!!

MargeD 11-15-2013 11:49 AM

Great quilt. I agree, when DH says he likes a quilt, he should get it.

trolleystation 11-15-2013 11:58 AM
