Rryder, I love the quilting you've done on this, esp around the circles. Neat idea. Congrats on your new UFO finish! Toot Toot

Since this is about 60" square, this will be my new grand-daughter's "lovely"... when she gets here in April. I think this is just small enough that she will be able to drag it anywhere.
However, I'm really disappointed with my outer border - I measured and measured and it STILL went wonky on me!! Which is why I'm going to tell my daughter - let this be her lovely, that she can drag around - because this is not good enough to be "special".
Maybe the "embroidered animals" will be her "special" quilt.

Time to update us for March. As of this evening, we've had 15 finishes for the month of March. Toot Toots go to OhCanada, CarrieM, Rryder, Jaba, SweetwaterQuilter, Kristakz, TravelingGramma and Letawellman for getting this month going and keeping the UFO train rolling! Great job.

Rainbow lone star...baggy borders...that's because of such intense quilting in center...fabric was " pulled in". And because no quilting in sash and wide border...the end result is wavy....can you take off the binding and do some quilting in those blank spaces to balance it out? That would be the solution...... Much to much work in it to leave it this way...
