It feels good to have another UFO completed. I made this top and backing back in August 2011 (I blogged about it here), but put it away until I got around to quilting and binding it this past week. As I mentioned in that blog post, this quilt was made after I made this block you see below...
The red/white/black block was part of a modern block-of-the-month project from the Sew, Mama, Sew blog. When a friend of mine first saw the block on my blog, she thought it was an entire quilt -- so that gave me the idea to make a large quilt based on the same design as the block.
I changed the measurements a bit to make the quilt a rectangle rather than a square, but it's the same basic idea.
Here's the pieced back, all from my stash...
And a closeup of the quilting...
The colors are not quite right in the photos -- I'm afraid that blue and purple and pink don't play well with my camera and computer, but in real life, the colors look really good.
This quilt used up 3 1/2 yards from my stash and will be going to the local foster child program.
