I am determined to finish all 30 of the quilts that are in progress, some that are tops, some awaiting borders, some blocks waiting to be sewn together, and all needing to be quilted and bound. This is the third one totally done since Jan. 1. This one was finished one week shy of being a year old. You can see I used the same fabric for backing here that I used as skinny borders in the beach ball fabric quilt.
They look so good with binding on them. I did this one by hand, the other two this year I did by machine so they done a lot quicker. It took me 4 hours to do the hand sewing on this one.
I did fairly simple quilting. I even forgot to make the little loop at the center of the block borders a couple times. The quilt police don't come to my house.
I thought the Jack Frost paintings were interesting today with the "jet trails" going off in several directions.
Would you believe these intricate paintings are only 2"-3" tall?
You have to click to enlarge the one below to really appreciate the detail. Again it is only about 3" tall. It is like a lush fern garden.
We made it up above zero for a very short time yesterday afternoon. The weathermen were joking that it is pretty sad when we are looking forward to a day in the 20's.
