WIP Wednesday

This is the last Christmas gift quilt I have left to finish. The binding will be in the same dark green of the inner border. (Don't worry, the quilt is not as wonky as it looks flung over the sofa.)

The close up shots are so that you can see the stipple star quilting and also get a better look at the great border fabric. So cheerful and kind of retro. I love it.


The back is made of a bird print panel, bird print fabric, and the same green as in the border on the front. The mystery person who gets the quilt has a special love for birds.



I have one more quick project to get in the mail, by Monday for sure. Hope you all are finishing up your Christmas projects and enjoying the season. Sometimes these deadlines can create a little stress, but if I feel that happening to me I take a few deep breaths and focus on the happiness I am creating for the other person. That usually works.

It is a beautiful quilt, Jen. I like the fabrics you chose for the back and that is a great border fabric. Lucky person to receive it.

I thought the first photo was a quilted cushion cover until I started reading. And yes, they are great quilts!

This is such a beautiful quilt. It has lots of beautiful features, from the beautiful sparkling stars, and the calming squares, lots of white space. And then you made it reversible with such a beautiful panel. Awesome! I'm sure the recipient will just love it.
