A Quilt to Bind

A quilt will soon be on its way to Florida, if I can make myself get really busy this week. DH and I had decided to gift a quilt to his brother and sister-in-law. We let them pick from several options and they selected Bradford's Star - a quilt top I made a number of years ago for a mystery project.

I found some remaining fabrics from the top and a great sale piece of coordinating fabric to use for backing. It was delivered to my quilter about 2 or 3 weeks ago. I saw her Friday morning and took delivery of the finish. Looks great!!

Various shots from it's early-morning photo shoot. I wanted to get it before the bright sun created streaks of light across it.

Maybe it will be in Florida by this time next week? Hope so!

I will be linking up with Monday Making over at Love Laugh Quilt. Click on over and have a peek.

Happy Quilting, Friends!

Strange Bedfellows

Who would ever think that fabric from Ginny Beyer would be called into service to complete at quilt made of Kaffe Fassett fabrics?

Well, when I was shopping for backings a couple of weeks ago (I wrote about it here), I also bought this gorgeous blue GB fabric to use as a backing for a quilt we are giving to my brother- and sister-in-law.

This quilt is called Bradford's Star. I made it about 3+ ago when Terry needed a variety of samples for her guild and a mystery activity they did at a retreat. It's just been hanging out in my closet ever since. When DH and I decided we wanted to give his brother a quilt, this is the one they picked. Seems perfect for a Florida home, doesn't it?

I am hoping that the backing yardage will be enough to do the job, but just in case, I do still have some of the fabrics to add extensions if necessary.

This will have to be put on a fast-track. I have many irons in the fire, but this needs prompt attention.

Happy Quilting, Friends!
