I finished the binding Tuesday morning and we went out for a picnic that afternoon. It was great! :)

(these are all taken with my phone, but the quality isn't too bad I guess.)


We even had a show while we ate and got to watch some people cut down trees across the street.

...cool and sad at the same time. I miss them.


Here are a few of my favorite last blocks that I FMQ (free motion quilted).

You can see the rest of my FMQ blocks here.


All in all it ended up going a lot faster than I thought it would. And just in time for the weather to warm up! Now on with the picnics!! :)


Fabric: Woodsy by Moda, some white sashing, and the back is Amy Butler, but I don't remember what color. :)

  2. What a great quilt for picnicking. I love the colors. We just had two large oaks cut down. It was very hard to see them go, but with hurricane season we could not chance a rotten trees falling on our house.
