Appropriately, . . .

. . .my Finish It Up Friday project is the 36-patch quilt which I started with Amandajean's QAL. I finished the top quickly, keeping up with the pace of the QAL, but after I pieced the back the whole thing lie neglected on top of the guest bed for weeks because I didn't know how I wanted to quilt it. And, because it is a much larger quilt than I have done before, I knew I would have trouble maneuvering it through my machine.  So, I procrastinated. Then I decided on Saturday to just do it. The straight-line quilting is on the diagonal through the dark squares. This means that the lines are 2 3/4" apart -- which means that, after washing and drying, this is a puffy quilt. Yay! I love it and it is d.o.n.e.!!








Now, which WIP will I choose to finish next?

love, Connie
