Every Finish Is Good!
Posted on | July 11, 2012 | 12 Comments
This was an easy quilt to finish. All the piecing was done and it had already been sandwiched together several months ago. All that needed doing was the quilting and binding. Too easy!
And a simple backing of Christmas decorations.
I am slipping in a few more photos from our trip. This amazing building is City Hall in the centre of Philadelphia. We did a guided tour of the building, ( not all 700 rooms), which included going through many of the mayoral chambers and then going to the top of the tower ( by lift). There is a viewing platform located right at the top just under the statue of William Penn.
It is 549 ft to the top of the tower. The statue itself is 37ft tall.
This is the stunning view. This photo is looking down towards The Philadelphia Museum of Art. (Think the steps in the Rocky films.)

Pretty pictures and I really like that quilt. The random reds really make it stand out!
Goodmorning Karen,
A lovely finish, especially love the red every now and again,makes you look at the quilt more.
Amazing building, I was surprised that there wasn’t more traffic on the roads, guess everyone is working in those buildings.
Happy days.

I also love the little pops of red around the perimeter of the quilt!
I love your quilt! So simple, and yet so interesting.
Great finish! I love the backing fabrics – I think I have some. Great photos of Philly too – I live 20 mins away and very rarely get downtown!
The red hst’s sure add interest and dimension to your quilt. I’m celebrating your finish, too, great job!
Love the historical visits, too ~

Well, it looks like someone else has been half square triangling it too!! :-)
Love your photos, Philly is a place I have never been to, but what am I talking about, I have seen very little of the eastern side of the US!
Congrats on the finish! I love pinwheels and your quilt is really beautiful! Love to see photos from your trip. I’m fascinated by old buildings, always thinking of what effort and work that went in during construction. Stunning view. It looks like a beautiful city.
I love the red triangles scattered through your wonderful quilt. Its fun seeing your trip photos. I’ve got the Rocky music in my head now.
Love your quilt with the little shots of red! And that backing is exquisite! Well done!
