First Finish of 2016
The first half of the month of January is gone, and as I look at my productivity, it has been largely MIA. This fact was niggling at me yesterday, so I just marched myself right upstairs and got busy.
Back in November, I made this quilt top on a whim after seeing a pin on Pinterest. You can read about it here. Finishing it was not on my immediate to-do list, but knowing it would be fast and easy to complete, I just charged ahead and did it. Nice! A great feeling to have a quick finish for 2016.
Because one can never get too many views of a pretty quilt, regardless of its size, above are two more shots of this little doll quilt. I like the mustard yellow binding that I selected, and I made it super narrow so as not to overpower the little quilt. All in all, I am quite pleased with my sweet little quilt.
Happy Quilting, Friends!

What a beautiful quilt. Sometime you just need a quick finish is just what you need. Love your quilting.
ReplyDeleteJayne, I chuckled when I saw this post. Your quilt and my first finish of 2016 look so similar -- except for the differences, of course. Both are 4-patch blocks with alternate plain blocks. Yours is adorable with the pink squares. Isn't it fun to finish a quilt quickly at the beginning of the year? It's a first for me.

Your little quilt has a lot of charm with its flowery pink fabric, framed by black. And the contrasting mustard yellow. Pinterest is certainly a great source of inspiration.
ReplyDeleteI like how you quilted it. The lines don't take the show away from your fabric mix. Isn't it amazing that we can remember how we used each particular fabric before?
