A Hypnotic Finish

Well, this turned out to be a very quilty weekend!  On Friday I made a pieced backing for a 72" x 72" quilt, on Saturday I basted it and started quilting it, on Sunday I finished quilting it and made the binding, and today I finished stitching that binding down.  I made this quilt in about three weeks!  I am a happy girl.


I like the back as much as the front.  You might even say this quilt is reversible.























I made a little dent in my stash on this one, using more than nine yards of fabric. 



















































I'm really excited about gifting this because the couple receiving it has a special place in my heart.  I didn't decide until the beginning of this month that I was going to make it.  Getting it done this fast just goes to show you what I can accomplish when I put my mind to it (AND don't do any housework!)

Beautiful quilt, Sandy! The colors are lovely, yet soft. And I agree that the back is almost as great as the front :) Congrats on a wonderful finish. I'm sure your friends will be thrilled with it.
