Friday Finish: Flower Maxi!

I finally, finally, quilted up the maxi version of my very popular Flower pattern. I don't do solid quilts very often, and if you look really closely, it's not "technically" completely solid, but it's a stretch for me still.




I have two reputations at my local quilting spot. The first is that I'm a speed demon. It happens when you've got only so much time to quilt, and so many quilts to finish, and five kids to homeschool. I haven't attempted anything very fancy, and I'm okay with that for now.

My second rep is that I pretty much only ever use off-white thread. My "usual" is what they call it. I sound like I go to a bar! But with this one, I stepped WAY out of my comfort zone and went with this awesome King Tut variegated thread. SO glad I did.


Backed with yellow brushed cotton and bound with brown gingham and now it's on my couch.


Checking this one off the 1QFAL. Four more finishes and I'm halfway through my list!

    Ha! The ladies at my place make fun of me for almost always choosing medium grey for the tshirt quilts. I'll pull out several options and always end up with it, and they just laugh. Fabulous finish! I need to find the pieces and make my leftover-screw-up Flower mini!
