Keeping On Finishing.
Posted on | January 10, 2017 | 12 Comments
Having the time to quilt some flimsies is a wonderful thing. I have completed another quilt that has been waiting patiently for a few months.
It is a very simple design but it works so well with these lovely fabrics. I added a background fabric that is cream on white design.
Quilting stayed simple – meandering on the inside and straight lines on the borders.
It seems to work okay.
I had a lovely fabric for the backing that matched the colours perfectly and is a bit of fun, too.
Very cute birds.
I am keeping things quiet around here and am already quilting the next UFO.
I hope your week has started well.
Cheers, Karen.
How very pretty! Those are at least mostly Jill Gordon fabrics, aren’t they? I like her! This design was a good way to showcase those pretty prints.
I have to agree with everything that Suz said. Beautiful quilt and a perfect place to hand and photograph your quilts.
Looks good
Replying to you.

You would have to be one of the most productive people I know!! I’m impressed you already have a finish for 2017! It’s such a fun quilt!!
Looks great! Nice finish Karen.
now that is totally stunning….
It seems that I never have the perfect backing for a particular quilt–certainly nothing so fun as this bird pattern. I really like the simple blocks and quilting: they give the spotlight to those gorgeous fabrics! What a wonderful finish, Karen!
wow Karen this is gorgeous,the fabric is so cute and i love the quilting,well done my friend xx
that quilt is so effective and a great way to show off pretty fabric. How fun is your backing too and I love the texture of the meander quilting. You are on a roll with finishing up quilts..

Great finish Karen! The backing matches the colours on the front perfectly! I wish I had a place like yours to hang and photograph quilts! I actually asked my husband to help me with my latest finish, but who knows when that will be…..
