A February Finish - Yippee!

Hi All!

I finished this quilt last weekend, but didn't get a chance to post it before I left town for the week...


I ended up quilting it with an all-over extremely elongated loop design.  I had visions of attempting custom quilting in each block, but for a couple of reasons, I decided against it.

The back is a pieced back...and I did not realize at the time that making a pieced back that is centered both vertically and horizontally could present an alignment challenge.  Fortunately, everything came out OK  In fact, I'm liking the back of the quilt more than the front!


Thanks to Cindy for posting the Garden Fence block tutorial - you can find it here.  And thanks to my friend Caitlin for hosting her Garden Fence Quilt-A-Long!

Next on the agenda?  I'm thinking of taking a few vacation days to catch up around the house and SEW!  I need to make a mug rug before the March 8th KC MQG meeting...so I'd better get cracking!

Have a great week!
