Finishes always feel good, don't they? Sometimes I feel like I am adrift in a sea of projects and UFOs. So when a finish comes along I feel especially good.
I finished the binding on the Lil' Baskets quilt last night. YAY!!! This quilt is not huge (70" x 70"), but it seemed to take forever. :-)
Now it is ready to go on the back of the couch where the cats will sleep on it and we will get to use it occasionally.
I even like the reproduction back I selected. With all the colors in the baskets, it was hard to choose an appropriate back. I decided on a reproduction that complimented the borders.
This quilt is a nice compliment to the courthouse steps quilt I made a few years ago. Ignore the leaves.. with so many trees it is hard to get a photo without them!
Both will keep us and the kitties warm on cold evenings this winter.
I also started this little penny rug on Halloween... and finished it on Sunday. I have had this pattern for a few years. Glad I finally made it. It was quick and fun!
Have a great week!
Happy Stitching!

Oh Gosh, this is lovely, and especially with the Courthouse Steps quilt. It looks so much bigger than 70", must be all that piecing!
ReplyDeleteA great finish, it is. Those blocks take forever, so no wonder you took a long time to finish it.
ReplyDeleteThose little baskets are super sweet and you picked a wonderful fabric to be the alternating block. It's hard to find at something that works with so many colors. It's a great finish. Both quilts work so well together. I like the courthouse steps as well. You used tons of fabrics in two fantastic scrap quilts.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great finish! Love those baskets so much. It's a very cozy looking quilt.:)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful finishes, congratulations! Those pieces of the baskets must be really small, same for the strips of the courthouse steps. I admire your patience.
ReplyDeleteWhoa! Your little basket quilt is fabulous. I love the contrast of the bright baskets and light background with the dark checkerboard. And your pumpkin is adorable. That's a lot of inspiration for one post!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous!
ReplyDeleteGreat finishes! Love the quilt and the wool pumpkin is so fun!
ReplyDeleteWhat a result! That is gorgeous! Worth the wait. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteOMG I'm in love with everything in this post. That basket quilt is amazing. LOVE the pumpkin
