Tis the Season

Seems to be the season for me to finish a few projects. Usually I am quite happy to plod along working on numerous (actually lots!) of different things but it is nice to occasionally finish one of those UFOs.

So here it my finished Tis the Season quilt.


Really pleased with this one .. it was a great way to use up a treasured Glace honey bun


I changed the block and quilt borders to use up more of the honey bun strips and give a scrappier look.


The straight line quilting worked a treat with the stitchery blocks nice and flat ... no 'ballooning' as has sometimes happened to me in the past.


 
Yesterday two quilts came back from being quilted by the lovely Leanne. Can't wait to get the bindings on and show the world what a great job she did.
